		Edwards, 52, and Wohlgemuth, 57, are fighting to represent Texas' newly redrawn 17th Congressional District, which largely straddles the Brazos River from Hood and Johnson counties in the north down to Grimes County east of Bryan-College Station in the south.
		What Edwards did last year is that he co-sponsored a sham substitute amendment to the PBA ban that would have included an exception for the "health" (including "mental health") of the mother, which of course wouldn't have banned a single partial-birth abortion.
		When (thank God) the sham amendment failed, Edwards then voted against final passage of the PBA ban but claimed that he had "tried" to ban partial-birth abortion with his sham substitute amendment---in other words, that he "voted for it before he voted against it." But you are correct, Chet Edwards is a pro-abortion extremist.

	Learning from Chet Edwards \| The Blogora
		Taylor has made some serious missteps: running entirely negative ads (except for one on his family, faith, and freedom commitments--"freedom" was the voiceover for a shot of an old guy with a hunting rifle) and concentrating heavily on the illegal immigrant issue, which doesn't seem much of a worry in this district.
		Chet is emphasizing the fact that Taylor is a carpetbagger from Dallas who doesn't understand that "we" don't run campaigns in a negative way here, that Taylor owns millions of dollars in stock in drug companies, and wants to ban importation of prescription drugs from Canada, and wants to "gamble" with Social Security.
		Chet Edwards is the smartest Democratic house candidate I have heard from in a long, long time.

		It looks like Chet is way ahead, and he got the endorsements of the Dallas Morning News, the Waco Tribune.
		Chet Edwards and I disagree on some important issues, but as a moderate Democrat, his views are within the mainstream of Central Texans, and are not enough to justify throwing out a veteran Congressman who can fight for the interests of our district.
		I think praising Edwards while attacking Pelosi et al would be better than trying to inflate motes about Edwards because outside the red meat R base (who he'll get anyway), the voters in the 17th are like most Americans in that they don't think their own Congressman is that bad.
