					<description>[...] Sugarland Mayor David Wallace has dropped his bid to run as a write-in candidate for Texas District 22 (Tom Delay&#8217;s old district). I had thrown my support behind David, but the local Republican leaders decided this past weekend to endorse only one candidate (a smart move) for the write-in campaign, and it wasn&#8217;t David. While I still don&#8217;t believe all of the accusations tossed his way (even from the Right), I applaud his sacrifice for the betterment of the TX-22 constituents. It&#8217;s better to get behind the consensus choice than run on principle and personal desire, only to let liberal Nick Lampson backdoor his way into the seat. [...]</description>

					<description>RWR,
Seems like a lot of "complaints" and "accusations" with nothing more. He was a business &lt;a href="http://www.abtv.com/lib59.html" rel="nofollow"&gt;turn-around specialist&lt;/a&gt;, which means he was involved in a lot of failing businesses by the very nature of what he was doing. Some were rescued, some weren't.

A troubled business seeking to improve its financial position and put an end to its spiraling debt and losses may look to a professional turnaround specialist as its best chance for long-term survival. In a fragile and often volatile economy it is indeed the turnaround specialist, armed with the proper skills and blessed with total objectivity, who can best accomplish such a feat.  Unfortunately many businesses come to this conclusion late, so that by the time the turnaround professional arrives on the scene, there are few options left except to sell or liquidate the company.

Then there's the "guilty by association" ties to Mark Thatcher. Thatcher &lt;a href="http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/africa/4169557.stm" rel="nofollow"&gt;maintains&lt;/a&gt; that his financing of a charter helicopter, presumably to be used as an air ambulance, was simply a case where he should've used more caution in the transaction... hence his plea deal. He was never charged with involvement in a coup attempt.</description>

					<description>David left some information off his website -- I've included it on mine.

Rest assured, this precinct chair who lives in the CD22 won't be supporting him.</description>

Well my gas is $3.08 a gallon so I guess that's something...Oh and they've done a grwet job of growing China while turninh their back on China sponsoring the Bill to condemn Israel's invasion of Lebanon...GOP mantra, Pay to say whatever you want...</description>

					<description>Jason, we could use David Wallace in the White House in 09, to heck with District 22.  I have this deep aboding fear that we're going to end up with McCain as the GOP presidential nominee.  He is one of a couple GOPers that would cause me to not vote for a president on 08.</description>
