Craig James: Worst Helicopter Dad in Texas
Posted: 01/25/2012 10:50 am
Handsome, rich, Christian and Republican, Craig James should have it made as a senate candidate in Texas. He's famous for playing football for Southern Methodist University and later for the New England Patriots. Lately he's gained new celebrity for doing color commentary on Thursday nights for ESPN's college football lineup. A universally known outsider running against lesser-known insiders, Craig James should be as popular in Texas as a pretty girl at closing time.
Not so much. Public Policy Polling just came out of the field with news that only 2 percent of Texas Republicans will vote for him for U.S. Senate. It's early yet, but if Republican political consultant a href="http://allynmedia.com/">Brian Mayes is correct, 2 percent is about where we should expect him to end up. In the interests of disclosure, I'm working for one of the Democrats in the race, and we aren't concerned with James in the slightest.

The Huffington Post is the political equivalent of the Bleacher Report.

sheesh-
vote for Craig James if he is the best of the candidates available...not if he is a Republican, Christ-follower, SMU football great, helicopter dad, or a Chinese astronaut.
The Huffington Post has the journalistic ethics of a jackrabbit...see the 'early' death announcement of JoePa as an example.
The very reason we have culls to choose from on the ballot this year is because good men and women don't want to face the hypocritical scrutiny of the Fourth Estate, and the idiot assessment of whether being an over-engaged parent of a college football player disqualifies you from public service.
BTW, vote...better folks than me bought the privilege for us to choose our leaders, often at the cost of their life.

I'd vote for a rodeo clown or kinki the donkey before Craig James. And yes, I will be voting.

What does the Huffington Post have to do with anything ?? Does the Mitch Mconnell fascist dude on this board read Newsmax for his daily dose of EXTREME right wing drivel ??? Likely.

Calling a political opponent fascist is so very clever and fresh. Never heard that one before. Are you Occupying Dallas? How is it going down there?
Bye Bye thread.

I think you are confusing Obama with Jesus.

Y'all should try living in a country that actually has a political divide.... This country hasn't seen a socialist since Jones went to Guyana.

Did it automatically post this or are you subliminally telling us that Decatur, TX has a real political divide?
