Candidate Blogs: Texas
The filing deadline for 2006 congressional and gubernatorial candidates in Texas was Monday, and I have scoured the Web for candidate blogs in the Lonestar State.
I found 10 blogs and two diaries, one each at Daily Kos and MyDD. All but two are for Democratic candidates. Rep. Mike Conaway, the only Republican incumbent in Congress without a Democratic challenger this year, also has a blog at his congressional site.
Here's the rundown:
Texas candidate blogs
-- Kevin Anderson, Democrat, 4th District
-- Ted Ankrum, Democrat, 10th District
-- Michael Badnarick, Libertarian, 10th District
-- Chris Bell, Democrat, governor
-- John Courage, Democrat, 21st District
-- Richard (Kinky) Friedman, independent, governor
-- Mary Beth Harrell, Democrat, 31st District
-- David Harris, Democrat, 6th District
-- Nick Lampson, Democrat, 22nd District
-- David Murff, Democrat, 7th District
-- Gary Page, Democrat, 24th District
-- Will Pryor, Democrat, 32nd District
-- Barbara Ann Radnofsky, Democrat, Senate
This is the second installment of my running list of candidate blogs. The first was for Illinois. So far, Democratic blogs outnumber Republican ones by an 8-to-1 ratio. The next candidate filing deadlines are Jan. 28 in West Virginia and Jan. 31 in Kentucky.
If you are aware of blogs or diaries that I have missed, please shoot me an e-mail at dglover@nationaljournal.com.
UPDATE: An Internet strategist with the Courage campaign just pointed me to the Daily Kos diary of Mary Beth Harrell in the 31st District. I've added it to the list.
