Interview with Rick Noriega

I think you all know how I feel about Rick Noriega. It’s been a long and hard race, as statewide campaigns tend to be around here, and there have been a few bumps in the road, but I’ve been proud of him and the things he has articulated throughout. Despite his large fundraising advantage, Sen. Cornyn has not been able to put this race away, as recent polling has suggested. Cornyn’s vote for the bailout bill, which Noriega opposed, appears to have lost him some support as well, much like his flipflop on the Medicare funding bill lost him the support of the Texas Medical Association. Noriega has been consistently right on the issues, and it shows. He was also actively involved in Hurricane Ike recovery efforts, which was one of many things we talked about. Please let me know what you think.

One Response to Interview with Rick Noriega

  1. Patrick says:

    Just so you know Charles, over the weekend the wife and I got an attack mailer from a GOP group about “the real Michael Skelly” and how he had personally benefitted from tax incentives and pocketed taxpayers money.

    Well, of course he did. That’s what happens when the government offers tax benefits to encourage businesses to develop a certain area. People that do well stand to make some money from the market and from the incentives…but that’s why the incentives are in place.

    Perhaps more interesting is that somebody feels the need to send a Skelly attack mailer. Never saw anything from or about Jim Henley in the last election cycle.
