I feel that with all the free media that Kinky and especially Strayhorn got over how their names would be printed on the ballot, the Chris Bell campaign should also try to get in on the action. What's more, I think they have a better chance than anyone else of having their request for a name alteration on the ballot come true.
All Bell has to do is use the full version of Christopher, then capitalize the first 6 letters of his name. There is no actual name change so I can't see how the Secretary of State could overturn it. With CHRISTopher Bell on the ballot, he no longer has to fight for name ID...there are missionaries all over the world that have been establishing his name ID for the last 2000 years. Additionally, he may have just found the perfect way to rail in swing voters. Who needs the 38% Democratic base anyways? Those pansies have spent 7 months flirting with Kinky and Strayhorn. Now Bell can cut into that wide swath of Perry voters that everyone thought was locked up. Heck, Bell could even go ahead and make his name CHRISTie Bell to capture some of those women voters that are going to vote for Strayhorn by default because hers is the sole vagina in the race.
So there you go. Bell campaign, feel free to run with this. Not only will you capture the desired 38%, but you'll blow the other candidates out of the water. Now time to move on to Ave Maria Alvarado.
I've never heard Bell's voice. He needs some new PR people. Or a state party that doesn't totally suck.
Don't beat up on the TDP so much... some people over there are extremely hard working, very competent and helpful.
Of course there are some I would love to throw under a bus. Honestly, it's the longevity of some of those people that has suprised me most. I guess, like some sort of bacteria living near a volcanic vent on the floor of the ocean, they've managed to carve out a life for themselves in the only environment in which they can exist.
I leave it to the reader to guess which people I'm talking about.
Click on my name for CHRISTopher Bell at the Democratic convention.
Ahem...McBlogger, are you saying that my ad sucks? Cuz it doesn't. If you disagree you're with the terrorists.
Robert "Christ" Bell
you've got to photoshop a halo on the dude.....
I like the ad, but the slogan makes it.
Not exactly... I typed that in yesterday when I commented again on the Bellzilla ad. Firefox autopop'd it.
Don't get me wrong, I do hate your ad. Very much, in fact. It's the red Texas, in case your were wondering how to fix it.
XXXOOO,
McB
That red Texas is straight from Bell's website, upper left hand corner.
Additionally, you do not hate the ad. You just aren't thinking hard enough. Either that, or you are a terrorist. So git to thinkin' or git to gittin' outta America, Al Mc'Qaeda.
I thought they changed that to a blue Texas and red lettering...That's the sticker I'm putting on my car... WHEN I WASH IT.
As for you, I bow to your superior knowledge of all things Bell.
If the CHRISTopher doesn't work for him, che could always go for the big time.

Photoshop a halo on the dude? OK! click on my name, let me know if it looks like a halo or a yellow afro.
Why is Bell spending the last of his cash on hand for that piece of trash ad? He will ahve spend $600k on those ads in two weeks.
By the end of next week Chris Bell will have less cash in the bank then Crazy Four Names has sense in her head. Who would allow Bell and Jason to spend all of their cash in the middle of July 100 days before the elction?
It must be true what they say Jason is on Perry's payroll.
OMG, we have to take up a collection to send RawHide to a photoshop class!
I'm confused. Are you saying Chris Bell has Christ in his heart, or that he has his heart? (We know for a fact Perry doesn't have one. And we have suspicions about the Libertarian and Abuela. Got no fuckin' clue about the Kinkster.)
Why doesn't the party recruit someone named Jesus for '10?
Jesus McBidness, maybe.
This same basic ad cost Ben Bentzin an election he should have won in West Austin. I guess Bell didn't notice.
"Ave Maria Alvarado."
hahahahahaha
