On The Speakership

One more reason the Republicans will replace Craddick:
“We can have a new speaker, have bipartisanship and get back to the people’s business instead of whatever Mr. Craddick’s business is,” said Rep. Jim Dunnam of Waco, chairman of the House Democratic Caucus. “Or else he can stay, and we’ll pick up another six seats next time.”
That’s very true. As I said earlier, Craddick is poison to the electorate statewide. And, while the “DeLay” part of the “DeLay/Perry/Craddick,” era has passed, the “Perry/Craddick” era still has a nice ring to it.
And, I think Dunnam’s being conservative. I’d say we could do seven seats.
