We can now mark down one more office that Democrats are going to contest in 2010- a Texas Supreme Court seat. Familiar face and the 2006 ticket's highest vote getter Bill Moody is back for another run. Some may remember him for his "walk across Texas" campaign. Well, this time he's going to be getting around Texas a little differently.
He's going to campaign in an orange blimp. Awesome.
Moody challenged incumbent Republican Don Don Willett in 2006, getting 45 percent of the vote to Willett's 51 percent. He will be now be challenging Paul Green, a San Antonio appeals court judge who won election to the court in 2004. Moody's son, Joe Moody, was a TexBlog PAC endorsed candidate and is of course now a state representative from El Paso.
