The Guy Who's Running Against Joe Barton
Did you know that Rep. Joe Barton has a Democratic opponent? I didn't either, but his name is David Cozad and here's his rather odd website. He calls himself a "Green Dog Democrat" because of his enthusiastic embrace of environmentalism. I think that's great, but it may be a hard sell in Texas oil country. The 6th Congressional District is suburban/rural and incredibly red, but after Barton's apology to BP, followed by his apology for the apology and his apology for the apology for the apology, a Dem might just have a chance. A Recent poll shows that only 18% of Texans agree with Barton. Admittedly, that is not the same thing as saying people in the 6th District think he's wrong enough to vote against him, but it's not good news for Barton. If I ran the DNC, I'd pump some money into Cozad's race, starting with a webmaster.
