I don't care what the Left thinks. I want what is best for the GOP. Keeping CD22 Republican is what I want. Campbell has a better chance of defeating Lampson than DeLay. The politics of DeLay and Campbell are similar.
Yep. Easy Choice. Tom Campbell for Congress!
Give it up, buddy. Won't happen.
In what alternate universe?
DeLay has more support, both in votes and financial than Campbell or the other 2 candidates could hope to bring to bear in the Primary and in the General election. DeLay is a known quantity with District 22 voters. Lampson is a known quantity (mostly bad) in the newer parts of District 22.
George Soros and other well healed Democrats are piling money on Lampson's campaign (and possibly on Campbell's through cutouts.) Campbell or the others can't possibly raise the kind of money to go toe-to-toe with Lampson's war chest.
If a bunch of Dems try to swamp the Republican Primary to steer it towards one of DeLay's opponents, they will only boost the Republican Primary turnout numbers and still DeLay will win the Primary and Runoff election. There just isn't a ground swell of support for one of the other candidates.
And so you know, maui_hawaii started that thread, slandering Tom DeLay for not showing up for a meeting and promising to do so. Well, it turns out that it would have been silly for him to do so.
