A weekend of press for Chris Bell
First off was this piece at the SA Express News. It's a decent piece though I think they are a little unnecessarily hard on Congressman Bell about the name ID thing.
In the meantime, though, his opponents are raising money, getting TV time and grabbing headlines. "Everybody in the race is better known than I am," he concedes.Rick Perry has the governor's mansion. Kinky Friedman has the cowboy hat and cigar. Carole Keeton Strayhorn has the One Tough Grandma shtick. Bell, meanwhile, has the door-to-door, ding-dong campaign.
Hello?
You're who running for what?
Name ID is tough to build when you're strapped for cash. Forget TV ads. During the primary, Bell couldn't afford yard signs.
Gee, fella, ever heard the phrase 'beating a dead horse'?
One other thing, there's actually crap in there about Bell's rebellious youth that's a reiteration of Kelso's piece from last fall. Ugh. Name ID AND rehashing that stupid food fight. In a Burger King, natch. LAMEORINA NAVRITOLOVA.
However, there is some good news... Chris Bell is running second in the newest Zogby poll, showing him clearly ahead of Strayhorn which may go a long way to bringing some wayard D's back into the fold. I do have to say I am extremely nervous about Kinky's strength in this poll. My fear is that those numbers WON'T go down.
UPDATE - 04/03/2006 - I've seen the break out from the poll and while the top line data looks good, the breakout of party support for the candidates is a little scary. Kinky is #2 among D voters after Bell. This doesn't bode well for the Bell strategy of letting Kinky hang himself.
