The Galveston County Dems sent me a copy of their newsletter. A true vision of MS Word "Publishing A Newsletter" guidelines from the MS Office Template. Seriously, so "Our Town" I thought it was adorable.
Anyway, they have launched a web site called DemocratsWin and after I spit my morning coffee out over the keyboard I decided I would pass the link on to you. Democrats win! Such a good laugh so early in the morning. Thanks, Galveston.
Then here's the rumor they included in their super sleek MS Office Template Newsletter:
The rumors are strong around the state that Ted B. Lyon will seek the Democratic Party¹s nomination for Governor in 2006.
A very successful 57-year old Dallas trial lawyer, Lyon has a very distinguished career of public service. The former police officer served four years as a member of the Texas House of Representatives and eleven years in the Texas Senate. His legislative career earned him numerous honors for his successful efforts in behalf of consumers, education, the environment, and law enforcement. Ted Lyon is a progressive who will come to the Texas Governor’s office with all of the necessary qualities that are lacking in the last two who held that office.
He has the ‘know how’ to win and to govern effectively. Texas could benefit by a man like Ted Lyon in the Governor’s office.
Fabulous name for a candidate. Ted B. Lyon.
Can we find someone named Ima Cheaton for Lt. Gov?
The folks in Galveston must not know about the I-20 Condo scandal at White Rock Lake in the 1980's.
Lyon was somehow implicated and it was a factor in his 1992 defeat for re-election (along with redistricting).
No doubt the R's would use that along with being a Trial Lawyer against him.
Don't get me wrong, Chris Bell is an awful candidate, but Ted Lyon would actually be worse.
