Heh, this cracks me up:
Quote:
(11/07/06 - HOUSTON) - Democrat Nick Lampson had a comfortable lead Tuesday over Republican write-in candidate Shelley Sekula-Gibbs to replace fierce partisan Rep. Tom DeLay in the state's most closely watched congressional race.
Lampson had about 50 percent of the vote in early returns, with Sekula-Gibbs capturing about 27 percent and another Republican write-in candidate, Don Richardson, with 18 percent. Libertarian Bob Smither received the remaining 5 percent. Most of the returns were from early voting in Harris County, one of four counties in the 22nd Congressional District, which also includes Brazoria, Fort Bend and Galveston counties.
Richardson's unexpectedly large vote count was in part due to Democratic ads that touted him as "too conservative for Texas," an attempt to appeal to conservative Republican voters and split the Republican write-in vote.
