Want a 30% Sales Tax?
By Byron LaMasters
Pete Sessions does:
I took a picture of this sign while I was in Dallas over the weekend. This one is on Preston Road near Walnut Hill in north Dallas. Sessions signs outnumbered the Frost signs in the Preston Hollow and Park Cities neighborhoods of the district (no shocker there), but I drove through the Kessler Park and Wynnewood neighborhoods of north Oak Cliff where Frost signs predominated (again, no surprise). I wish I would have had more of a chance to drive through the swing areas of the district such as east Dallas, Irving and Richardson. I did, however notice that Sessions is doing just what Arlene Wohlgemuth is doing to associate himself with the Bush / Cheney ticket. Here's another picture from the Bent Tree neighborhood of far north Dallas:
If Pete Sessions wins, it'll be because of straight ticket voting for the Bush / Cheney ticket, and Dallas Republicans are doing their best to prop up Bush / Cheney by adding Sessions (or Wohlgemuth, or insert the name of the embattled Texas Republican here) to the ticket.

they're doing the same thing in lubbock and abilene w/ neugebauer
I'm told they're also doing the same thing up here for Tom Coburn - that the GOP is now handing out only BCO4/Coburn signs, not just plain Coburn signs.
I've spoken with folks in Dallas that are reporting that dozens of DCCC / Democratic staffers are pouring into the district. This is one of the top races in the country...
There are "Bush Gohmert" signs in CD1, but no 30 % tax hike signs yet..though there have been mailers.
Frost's last week blitz is in full swing in Dallas. I've had someone stop by for the past two days and I'm the precinct chairman. They aren't taking any chances. I predict Frost wins it on turnout.
