Swing State Project: TX-22: Perry’s Gambit Backfires
As you may know by now, the Texas Republican Party pulled a cute stunt last week when Gov. Rick Perry (R) called for a special election to fill Tom DeLay’s vacant seat for the rest of his term, expiring in January 2007. At first glance, it seems clever–by holding the special on the same day as the general, it gives Republican write-in candidate Shelley Sekula-Gibbs an actual ballot position, which theoretically should help remind Republican die-hards to scribble in Ms. Hyphen’s name on the general ballot.
