Agreed. I also like Clint Moore. I just think he's a long shot in that district, so I'm planning on voting for Poe.
For the record, I don't know for certain what made YCT go with Moore first but I did urge some of their members I spoke and emailed with to support Poe with Moore as a second choice. Apparently there has been some concern among conservatives about that article from the Houston Press last month alleging that Poe had an extramarital affair back in the 80's. Problem is that the Press, which is as left wing as it gets and certainly didn't shy away from defending Bill Clinton for all those years, gave NO specifics in its story and provided ZERO corroborating evidence for what they printed - they were all unnamed sources. The story may have still been unsettling to some YCT people for whatever reason, though I tend not to put too much credibility into what the Houston Press says (and IMHO nor should they). I also have strong reason to believe that the Press got the story from a certain political consultant (hint: he's the only person quoted by name in that story) who works for another certain candidate in the district 2 race (hint: think enron). And it's not the first time that consultant has engaged in smear tactics alleging unsubstantiated extramarital affairs before either.
I think it would be nuts to change a vote based on the Houston Press who knows Judge Poe well, and certainly doesn't like him.
But what do I know? Redistricting put me into Ron Paul's district and he didn't draw an opponent on either the Republican or Democrat side. Free pass.
