Democratic Leadership to target four Texas Reps in 2006

[crispini]

Reliable sources indicate that four Democratic members of the House of Representatives will face challenges from within their own party in next year's March 2006 Democratic primary election: State Reps. Al Edwards of Houston, Kino Flores of Mission, Vilma Luna of Corpus Christi and Mike Villarreal of San Antonio.

All four have been members of Craddick's leadership team since the GOP claimed control of the House more than two years ago.

If one listens to capitol whispers, if one visits www.savetexasreps.com and reads between the lines, it is quite apparent that Democratic insiders are targeting these particular races.

1. Good for us

Nothing wrong with cleaning our own house. Hasn't it been nice not seeing or hearing the whining Ron Wilson (D-T; Democratic Traitor) at the Texas Legislature this year. I fully expect him to change parties and run a repuke somewhere in Texas.

I knew about 3 of those Craddick Democrats but I didn't know Mike Villarreal was one of them. I know he's been acting flaky this year. Damn, a perfectly good Latino Democrat gone bad. What a shame. Vilma's been a sell out for a long time. Good riddance if she goes. I know very little about Kino Flores, even though he's my Mom's Rep.

Save Texas Reps also has some other Craddick Democrats listed
Sylvester Turner, Helen Giddings and Kevin Bailey. Shame on all of you.
