Yesterday we reported Brian McCall's intention to run for Speaker of the Texas House.
According to Quorum Report and Paul Burka, it appears another name may enter into the Speakers Race after Christmas:
Another name that has been in circulation is Rep. Robert Talton (R-Houston). In his blog last Thursday, Paul Burka speculated that Talton [simply] was positioning [himself] for chairmanship of Civil Practices under the sponsorship of plaintiff's attorney Mikhail Watts.
Craddick's obscene pay to play model of leadership must go. Anyone but Craddick (ABC) is better than the "leadership" we have now.
As Democratic leader Rep. Jim Dunnam said to the Dallas Morning News, "There's a good majority of House members that believe Tom Craddick should not lead the House next session."
It is time for a new leader in the Texas House. Someone who will not allow special interests to buy legislation or friends like Bob Perry or Jim Leininger decide the direction will take.
It is as simple as ABC, Anyone But Craddick is good for Texas.
ABC is planning to air a terrible biased docu-drama about 9/11 that contains scenes that are directly contrary to what actually happened. My break time is up, so I can't post much more, but here's a link to many discussions at DK. Write the national people, but write the local affiliates, too. If you call, be nice to the person at the switchboard. They're just a $8/an hour flunkie, they're not the decision maker. Been there done that - never understood why people yelled at the chick who answered the phone.
