Q&A with the Frost Campaign:
Both Charles Kuffner and I interviewed Martin Frost earlier in the campaign. Both of our interviews focus on redistricting and the early stages of the campaign. Check them out here.
This past week, I had the opportunity to submit some questions to Frost campaign for their campaign manager to answer relating to recent developments in the Frost / Sessions race. Here they are:
BL: In a recent debate, Pete Sessions equated the war on terror to a "game". What was Martin Frost's response to this characterization?
Frost Campaign: Sessions showed he does not take our national security seriously with this comment. Congressman Frost replied, "Pete, my wife is an army officer and she's on assignment in Iraq right now. Two weeks ago I went to the burial of a 21-year old Marine from this area who was killed in Iraq. That burial was at the National Cemetery. We've had a thousand, more than a thousand people die in this war so far. Pete, this is not a game." (Click here (WMV file) to view the exchange).
Recent Rumblings in TX-32:
It's difficult to know where to start with TX-32. It's likely to be the most expensive congressional race in the nation this cycle with Martin Frost and Pete Sessions paired together in the mostly north Dallas district after redistricting last year. This race is one of the tightest and most important in the country. Next to defeating Tom DeLay, a Frost victory would do more to damage Tom DeLay than most anything else that could happen on November 2nd. Tom DeLay said again and again last year that the number one goal of redistricting was to defeat Martin Frost. A Frost victory would send a serious message to Tom DeLay, and Republicans everywhere interested in choosing their voters, rather than allowing the voters to choose them.
Thanks a lot!
