Texas Association Of Realtors Gives No Love To Democratic Challengers, Puts Their Eggs In Craddick’s Basket

The Texas Association of Realtors released their 2008 election endorsements yesterday. In an unsurprising move, they endorsed every sitting incumbent–Democratic or Republican–in races from U.S. Congress down to Texas Supreme Court and Texas House.

In House races with no incumbent, they sided one hundred percent with pro-Craddick Republicans. In Senate Races, all endorsed were incumbents, and the SD 17 race was noticeably absent from their list.
