Get the News: Go Native
Written by Stephen on April 4th, 2006One of my pet peeve’s are national media trying to understand local races. They just can’t do it! So for those of you who want an idea of the conditions on the ground in DeLay’s district, read this article in the Houston Chronicle.
Those who acknowledged interest in the seat or were mentioned as contenders included Harris County Judge Robert Eckels, state Rep. Robert Talton, Sugar Land Mayor David Wallace, Houston City Councilwoman Shelley Sekula-Gibbs, former state District Judge John Devine and lawyer Tom Campbell, who ran against DeLay in the March Republican Primary.
Names you’ll not hear in the national media.

Why isn’t Stockman mentioned here? I’m going to talk to him about it next chance I get, but for now I’m a little in the dark. Can he be given the GOP nomination? I really think, unfortunately, that voting third party or independent is too much of a step for a lot of people and that an independent won’t win.
That said, I would rather he win as an independent than a Republican.
