Fort Worth Star-Telegram: "So far in Texas, it's John Edwards or nobody"

[Stop Cornyn]

So far in Texas, it's John Edwards or nobody:

So far, Texas primary voters will have two choices for president on March 4: John Edwards and none of the above.

The former senator from North Carolina is the only candidate to have filed as a candidate for president in Texas.

It's cool that Edwards filed in Texas at the earliest chance. Edwards will compete in Texas. Hillary won't. This will make a huge difference down ballot in Texas, where we could use that Edwards boost (instead of a Hillary drag).

1. Haven't they seceded yet?

[tammywammy]

2. The Texas primary is so far out

That the candidate is pretty much decided by then.

But good for Edwards.

15. Which is exactly why our system is so farked up......

every voter should have a say in who the nominee is...not just a few choses ones.

3. True: Hillary will not compete in Texas

and where Obama is concerned there is this to consider in Texas - to paraphrase Governor William J. Le Petomane: "Have you gone berserk! You can't elect him President! Can't you see that man is a ni..."

4. Actually, I think Obama would do fine in Texas. In 2002, Ron Kirk (who is black) ran for Senate

against Cornyn. The state has undergone a major Democratic shift since then, but even back then, even though Kirk lost he got the 3rd highest vote percent among statewide Democratic candidates.

I think Obama would have coattails in Texas, not quite so much as Edwards and (to a slightly lesser degree than Edwards) Richardson, but real coattails. Down ballot Republicans in Texas would ride Hillary's coattails to victory in close races.

5. I liked Kirk

I wonder if he'd run again, maybe for the Hutchinson slot.

[Stop Cornyn]

6. I was hoping he'd run this year!

[tammywammy]

7. Yeah me too, but doesn't appear so

[Stop Cornyn]

8. We'll just have to kick Cornyn's ass with Noriega (who's a great guy but seems not to be a blazing

fund raiser).

[tammywammy]

10. I like Noriega too

But really, my cat would do a better job than Cornyn. :)

17. But to tell a family secret, his grandmother was a Dutch.

:rofl: Ahh, love that movie. The most wrong movie ever.

9. has poppy bush threatened to shut down any voting in texas if anyone as much dares to vote for hill?

[Stop Cornyn]

11. Actually, the Clintons are Poppy Bush's favorite Democrats

[flordehinojos]

14. he has promised to give her hell if she as so much wins the nomination ...

the bushes can't stand the clintons but they want to rub off some of the positive vibes the clintons get when they are out in public ... and the clintons ... well, old bill he just wants to be in in the in club.

[tammywammy]

13. She and the other candidates have until Jan 2 to file

[asdjrocky]
