Mayor of Crawford, TX. Endorses John Kerry
from the Yellow Dog Blog:

<http://www.yellowdogblog.com/mt/archives/000197.html>

"One of the greatest joys for us Texas Democrats is the fact that our most prominent Republican resident- Connecticut native George W. Bush-lives in a district with a Democratic Congressman (Chet Edwards), Democratic State Rep (John Mabry) and Democratic Mayor it seems."

"Crawford may be the heart of Bush country, but the town's mayor says John Kerry is the best choice for president.

'I don't see where I'm better off than I was four years ago,' Robert Campbell said Tuesday. 'I don't see where the city is any better off.'

The Kerry campaign recently listed Mr. Campbell as one of 100 black mayors around the country – seven of them Texans – who support the Massachusetts senator over President Bush. But the campaign has not focused particular attention on the endorsement.

With his sprawling ranch near Crawford, Mr. Bush is the area's most famous resident. Tourists flood the Central Texas city's tiny downtown on weekends to purchase Bush memorabilia and eat the Presidential cheeseburger basket at the Coffee Station, the restaurant that Mr. Bush occasionally visits while on vacation."

able to take Texas. I'll feel kind of sorry for Crawford in November, having to deal with yet another drunk roaming around with too much time on his hands and all.....

5. You can bet Laura's "beautiful mind" isn't going to hang out in the
middle of all that dust and mosquitoes. We're talking Highland Park Mansion, Baybeeee! Ross Perot and Mark Cuban on you Homeowner's Association Group!

3. I'd hate to hear this from the mayor of my town!
I'd kinda feel unpopular. But what else can Bush expect? This guy knows him (his reputation -- not fooled) better than most do... heehe
