I understand what you are saying about Pete moving to the area to run. IMO, the “drafting” of Pete for an elected position of some kind in Texas began several years ago way in the background and I don’t have total admiration for some of those people who were behind it. The final evolution must fall squarely on DeLay’s maneuvering. Seems as how politicians are groomed and created - has always been so and probably will continue. In spite of this, Pete has supported us well this year - there is really little impact he can have since we are in the minority. It remains to be seen what he will do if we are ever in the majority again in the House. I’ve talked to him at length about a number of issues many times and he seems to be on top of what is going on and why and what can and can’t be done. I know for a fact that he really doesn’t like to be in DC. I also know for a fact that any messages I send to his staff here get passed onto him in DC - without their editing. But, time will tell.

PLEASE! The guy worked there for years and then runs for Congress? If he doesn't like the place than he is a fool.
