Yes, really, this is a Democrat
By Byron LaMasters
Check out the latest Max Sandlin ad. Really, he's a Democrat, even if you're not used to hearing a Democrat brag about his NRA endorsement and support of school prayer. But hey, it's east Texas and Sandlin is a solid vote for the Democratic leadership when it coulds. Also check out the Sandlin blog - sorta, if you haven't already. Even though it's not really a blog in the sense that most of us are used to, it's use of pictures and videos is a solid improvement for a candidate who didn't have a campaign website until a few months ago.

Not only is Max Sandlin a consistent vote for the leadership, he is also the only Texas Democrat to be be PART of the Democratic leadership. Sandlin is the Chief Deputy Whip. You have to vote for your consituency.
...not used to hearing a Democrat brag about his NRA endorsement and support of school prayer.
Maybe not from the same Democrat, but do the names Howard Dean (NRA) and Tony Sanchez (school prayer) ring a bell?
The only time I'd start worrying about Democrats supporting "school prayer" (really, leading students in prayer - "school prayer" by students, either individually or in voluntary groups, has never been banned) is if there were enough of them to be close to passing a Constitutional amendment. The last time this was attempted, they didn't even get 3/5ths, let alone the 2/3rds it would take.
