Well, this question got answered tonight as I watched a bit of "Ugly Betty" - Chris Bell had an ad on, in which he criticized Rick Perry's environmental record. It was this ad, actually. So much for what the Perry and Strayhorn camps were peddling to the press a few days ago.

AND, if Bells internal polls are so good, why is he hiding them?

Here's what was said on Tuesday:
Perry spokesman Robert Black and Strayhorn spokesman Mark Sanders said Bell's campaign has not paid for major television advertising anywhere in Texas after today.
"In a state as large as Texas, if you're on TV, you've got a campaign. If you're off TV, you don't have a campaign," Sanders said.
Bell had an ad on network TV in prime time in the Houston market last night. That's a funny definition of "no major television advertising anywhere in Texas" if you ask me. Sanders was wrong.
