1. Wow, how much did you give?

n/t

[phillybri]

4. $100

I had the thought that he might be desperate, but with him running against the bugman, he MUST have money coming in from a lot of places...

Maybe he called because I'm in North Carolina and he saw the opportunity to tap into a new area...

Either way, it was a very cool thing to do!

2. hmm

cool? i hope he is not as desperate as this sounds. unless you gave him a ton.

maybe we should all send a few bucks.

3. What are this guys chances?

To Defeat Bugman?

I can't imagine the US Congress without the slimeball himself, but its an idea I could get used to. :party:

6. Kos has some internals

As Kos says, with virtually now name recognition for Morrison there is plenty room to grow.

7. You beat me to it...

Here's a summary of Richard Morrison's first internal poll of the race. I'll work on getting more of the poll as information trickles out.
Beattie Hamilton & Staff for the DCCC. Poll details unknown.

DeLay (R) 49
Morrison (D) 39
Fjetland (I) 7

DeLay is running 11 points behind Bush/Cheney (which means Bush is garnering 60 percent in the district). DeLay also runs poorly in Galveston County, which has just been added to the district. The theory is that the county, which was cut in half by DeLay's redistricting, is unhappy with the maneouver -- a theme echoed by every Texas Democrat I have talked to the last week.
Morrison's name ID is apparently non-existant, so there's room to grow.

Now, if we can just get that indictment...

UPDATE: Michael Fjetland is taking votes (7%) from Morrison. His website shows him to be moderate to liberal...
