Texas' Favorite Democrat

Chet Edwards, the lone Democrat to survive Tom Delay's redistricting in 2004, endorsed Senator Barack Obama.

That is on top of Senator Obama's endorsements from the Mexican American Democrats.

Senator Clinton received endorsements from former Texas Attorney General Jim Mattox, former Texas Supreme Court justice Bob Gammage, state Rep. Valinda Bolton of Austin and Cathy Bonner, a former aide to the late Gov. Ann Richards and a leader of a major cancer research proposition Texas voters approved in November.

That's a lot of "formers" for Clinton.

Chet Edwards, a Democrat whose campaign ads often showed pictures of him embracing President Bush. No. Seriously. Chet Edwards's claim to Harrogate's votes is that, unlike the Republicans who have run against him, Edwards comes across as actually sane.

Talk about a low bar.
