‘All I Need Is A Miracle
By Vince Leibowitz on Aug 24, 2006 in 2006 Texas Elections, Replacing DeLay      
I got this via a GoogleAlert, and this song popped into my head:
Texas-22: One could say that Republicans dodged a bullet when they succeeded in rallying around a single write-in candidate for the seat formerly held by Rep. Tom DeLay (R). Although Sugar Land Mayor David Wallace (R) had threatened to run, he retreated after local Republicans backed Shelley Sekula-Gibbs (R). The choice of someone with a hyphenated name is particularly unfortunate — it’s one thing for Charlie Wilson (D-Ohio) to win as a write in, but Sekula-Gibbs will have a much harder time if people have to write out her whole name. She also begins with a huge financial disadvantage against former Rep. Nick Lampson (D). She needs a miracle — there is also a libertarian on the ballot who will help split the vote and give victory to Lampson. Likely Democratic Takeover.
