Seriously. Why did they let him even run against Chet? I also read in the Waco Trib this morning that the GOP is all but going to be abandoning him (Van) where money is concerned- probably because they know he doesn't have a chance in hell to win. www.wacotrib.com Chet and Van were on Garrett Lewis’ show this morning (1230AM) and my God Van Taylor sounds like such a doofus.

In addition to claiming Chet doesn't love Jesus, Vancampen bragged AGAIN that he hasn't bothered to read his own party's proposed budget. He has systematically pissed off all the Republican office-holders in Johnson County with his arrogance and condescension. Frankly, I won't be surprised if Chet carries Johnson County this time around (he didn't even break 40% here in 2004, but that was with Dubya at the top of the ballot).

They won't even THINK about voting against Chet Edwards - they love the guy. When I was a young Marine reservist in college, Chet Edwards' office helped me get my GI Bill benefits fixed, after the VA had denied them for bogus reasons. Chet cares about veterans, and he cares enough about his constituents to set aside partisanship when it matters. My family is from the Waco area, and are all Republicans.
