DeLay PAC Contributions, By State

We see here that the DeLay PACs contributed $5,930 to the Doc Hastings campaign.

Campaign 2004 Debates

Attended the Forum tonight. Doc is running on his record. Sandy on her resume. I'm not much impressed by either.

Campaign News

You have probably heard by now of the polling debacle between Matheson and Hastings. Just putting in an entry here to capture links to the applicable newspaper articles.

House Ethics

It appears that Doc may have at least taken some action on the DeLay cases. It would be interesting to know whether he was at all interested in calling DeLay to account or in minimizing the damage to DeLay. Nonetheless it looks like the multiple admonishments may be the best that could be obtained. We will have to leave the criminal charges up to the courts.

First Open Thread

What topics are on the minds of people of the 4th CD?

Introduction

I'm an active partisan blogger but I recognize all sides of issues need to be explored to come up with the best answers. I offer this as a place where that can happen. Before too long I hope to add other members to the blogging staff but I'm going to start out slow on that. In the meantime everyone can post in the comments section and I plan to have open threads regularly in which new subjects can be introduced. Happy Posting.
