TX-32: The editorial that will help us win

Out here in the lonely boondocks of the gerrymandered 32nd Congressional district, no one does polls, so I have no hard data to back up my optimism about Eric Roberson's chances for winning, but today, I saw yet another hopeful sign that things are going our way--the Dallas Morning News' endorsement of incumbent Pete Sessions.

Their praise of Sessions is almost "dog whistle" politics against him.  Follow me over the jump, and let's take a look at what they said, and how this is a win for us...

Candidates not being invited to the Inner Faith Forum

by: Purple Junkie

Mon Apr 21, 2008 at 03:11 AM CDT

When Inner Faith was spoken to they could not give the candidates any reason to why they were not invited to the Inner Faith Forum.

There are several questions that needed to be answered before this matter can be cleared up:

1. The Inner Faith group stated that they are non-partisan. If this group is non-partisan then why were not all the candidates running for Austin City Council invited to the forum?

2. The forum was a public event; did they not know that the candidates would find out something about this event?

3. Were these candidates honestly over looked or does  Inner Faith discriminate  against certain candidates?

4. Why couldn't every candidate running have a fair chance to speak in front of the Inner Faith Group?

5. Would Inner Faith be willing to apologize to these candidates admitting that they made a mistake and that this will never happen again?

Is the TDP Going to Get Sued by the Clinton Campaign for the Caucuses?

by: Phillip Martin, Progress Texas

Fri Feb 29, 2008 at 07:15 AM CST

The Texas Democratic Party is warning that its March 4 caucuses could be delayed or disrupted after aides to White House hopeful Hillary Clinton raised the specter of an "imminent" lawsuit over its complicated delegate selection process, officials said Thursday night. [...]

In a letter sent out late Thursday to both the Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama campaigns, Texas Democratic Party lawyer Chad Dunn warned that a lawsuit could ruin the Democrats' effort to re-energize voters just as they are turning out in record numbers.

Spokesmen from both campaigns maintained there were no plans to sue before the March 4 election.

"It has been brought to my attention that one or both of your campaigns may already be planning or intending to pursue litigation against the Texas Democratic Party," Dunn said in the letter, obtained by the Star-Telegram. "Such action could prove to be a tragedy for a reinvigorated Democratic process."

"Officials from Senator Clinton's campaign at several times throughout the call raised the specter of 'challenging the process,' the official said. "The call consisted of representatives from both campaigns and the Democratic Party."

The source, who did not have authorization to speak about the matter on the record, said Clinton's political director, Guy Cecil, had pointedly raised the possibility of a courtroom battle.

But Adrienne Elrod, Clinton's top Texas spokeswoman, said campaign and party officials had merely discussed primary night procedures and that the campaign was merely seeking a written agreement in advance. She could not elaborate on the details of the agreement the Clinton campaign is seeking. "It is our campaign's standard operating procedure that we need to see what we are agreeing to in writing before we agree to it," Elrod said. "No legal action is being taken. We have no reason to take any legal action."

Obama spokesman Josh Earnest said the Obama campaign had no plans to sue.

"We're confident that by working closely with the Texas Democratic Party and the Clinton campaign we'll have a caucus that Texans can be proud of -- because every eligible voter will be allowed to participate and have their vote counted in a timely manner," Earnest said.

A lawsuit about the caucuses would be the most damaging way to proceed with this -- to date -- incredible presidential campaign in Texas.
