Write-in Could Win Delay's Spot, Poll Finds.
Houston Chronicle ^ | 10-29-2006 | Doug Miller

Posted on 10/29/2006 9:24:34 PM PST by rhinohunter

On Monday President Bush flies into Houston to campaign for a congressional candidate who — at one point — looked like a long shot.

But an exclusive poll indicates that Shelley Sekula-Gibbs may pull off a political upset and win her write-in campaign for Congress.

I have read the internal polling of the GOP and what Rove is basing his worst case scenario 8 or so seats lost. That is worst case scenario. You are way off base and seem to have an agenda to keep republican voter turn out low. Sorry that is not going to happen and you will be so disappointed when the rats do not get a majority.

If control of the House is on the line and this election is close, can you imagine the army of rat lawyers from CA and NY that will descend on Sugarland to try to get all the write-in votes thrown out that they possibly can? What a circus that would be!!!!


Arn't there gators that need to be fed in Brazoria county?

The NRA is endorsing Lampson in this race btw. Sekula-Gibbs is an anti-smoking Nazi and has been ineffective on Houston City Council. I'm confused.

She'll win. She'll win the special election on the same day, then that republican district's voters will write her in and she'll win the election. The ads she's got out explains how to write her in. The explanation is a huge help. Also her name will be displayed in each voting booth. And if those still have a problem those poll workers will help the voters. It's a win win situation.

Lampson is NOT a happy camper. He knows he'll lose.

Perhaps, but the action you imply would be vile and cruel....to the gators. Rat lawyer meat would sicken or kill even the heartiest of reptiles.

Does spelling count for write-ins?

Lampson was born and raised in Beaumont. He didn't move to that district until a few months ago, and I know that to be a farce. This is revenge for him, pure and simple. I would think that the people of the district would want someone who really cares about them, smokers or not.

This has been #1 on the RealClearPolitics Dem pickup list. Maybe they need to revisit their thinking.

National Review is run by a bunch of pussies.

Sure does seem to be the case lately.

This will be a BIG win if we can pull it off!!!

Yes, huge, but, even if we win, I won't forgive Delay for putting this seat in jeopardy.

Are you at all involved in her campaign? I looked at her website to offer to volunteer to walk to get out the vote; however, it's only on Saturday's. I could do it on weekdays.
