Several Texas House races in East and Southeast Texas I have been following don’t seem to be going well for the Democratic challengers. Incumbent GOP Rep. Wayne Christian of Center has about a 62-36 percent lead over Kenneth Franks for the Shelby-Nacogdoches county areas. That is with close to 30 percent of precincts reporting. With almost 70 percent of precincts in, Vidor attorney Larry Hunter is losing by a similar majority to incumbent Republican Rep. Mike “Tuffy” Hamilton of Mauriceville. At least the national races seem to be going well for EFD’s favored side. It looks like it might not be long before a concession speech might come from McCain if you can believe what you hear on TV.
