Let’s hope so. The Tsunami is building.
This is an R+20 district. In a year like this, I would imagine the answer is yes.
McCain got 67% of the vote in TX-17. So it’s time Edwards took a forced retirement.
Chet baby is burnt toast.
Real Clear Politics shows this as “leaning GOP”

I think that the ‘Rat Party is writing this race off.
Edwards was that rare animal, a conservative Democrat and that’s how he’s held on to his seat all these years as the district became more conservative. But this is like a 40-year flood for Republicans and it looks like it may sweep out a lot of the scum that normally aren’t vulnerable.
Chet’s district includes Waco, but comes up to the southern Dallas area so the Dallas radio market can reach into TX-17. I’ve heard lots of radio ads for his Republican opponent, Flores, on Dallas talk stations, but apparently Edwards isn’t advertising on those stations.
McCain recently did an add for Flores about veteran’s issues. Apparently Edwards was saying Flores was bad for veterans or something.
I just found your good news post. This would match up with local “talk” that says Chet’s internal polling tells them they need to be very worried. His ads smack of desperation. They are extremely negative and misleading. He offers no solutions to problems. He’s running on the fact that years ago he helped save the Waco VA and is trying to scare veterans. He doesn’t have any current achievements to tout.
DMN reporting RCCC is canceling ad buys. I can’t believe they’d bail on a winnable seat, so I’m assuming Flores is way ahead.
