Pete Sessions gets a primary opponent in CD32


by: youcantgetfooledagain

Yesterday, David Smith, announced that he was running in the Republican primary against Pete Sessions in CD32.  http://www.examiner.com/x-1700...
David, who writes for the Dallas County Republican Examiner, describes himself in his bio as:

David Smith is a Dallas Republican activist and transportation expert. He's spoken from the steps of the Texas Capitol and testified before the Legislature, earning a reputation for asking tough questions of elected Republicans. He got his County Commissioner voted out of office in 2008. Now David is preparing to seek his own elected office in 2010.

He has written many pieces critical of Sessions including this piece written on November 2nd and entitled: "Is Sessions the man going forward"

Things are starting to get very interesting in CD32.  Pete not only faces a very viable Democratic opponent, Grier Raggio www.grierforcongress.com, but now has to contend with a Republican primary opponent who seems likely to tap into the disaffected right wing of the Republican party.  It's not going to leave Congressman Sessions much time to make up for the embarrassing loss in NY23 and continue with his NRCC duties.
