I guess they prefer promoting the dirty Republican over the clean ones.

With dwindling hopes of keeping Tom DeLayÂ’s longtime House seat from falling to a Democrat in November, Texas Republicans on Tuesday called an urgent meeting for Thursday to exercise their only option: agreeing on a write-in candidate.

But that slender prospect — no such write-in campaign has succeeded in the state — seemed to suffer a blow when a leading candidate facing party opposition disparaged the meeting, saying “that may have worked in Moscow,” and vowed to keep running even if it meant two Republican write-in candidates.

“I’m in the race and I’m in it to win,” said the candidate, David G. Wallace, the part-time mayor of this booming Houston suburb named for its onetime Imperial sugar factory. He said he might be too busy campaigning to attend the meeting.

Yeah, Dave has a history of skiping any meeting where he cannot be assured of a ready-made majority in his favor. That is why he couldn't be bothered to meet with Harris County GOP precinct chairs back in May.

I'm particularly disturbed the paper could not be troubled to include a single quote from the other major candidate in the race, Shelley Sekula-Gibbs. She was interviewed at length for this article on Monday morning, but you wouldn't know that from reading this article. I wonder what they have against clean, competent, qualifed conservative women who don't leave a trail of slime behind them?
