Whoa. When I received the following from the Craig James campaign yesterday, I sorta shrugged and blew it off. But you know what? The more I think about it, the more I think that I should have been all over this thing last night. Because frankly, it is rare that we get a view of an honest citizen trying to win an election by being, well, honest. Check this out:

Kudos to Craig James for giving us yet another view into the morally bankrupt Cruz campaign. They’ve put out false ads about Lt. Gov. Dewhurst; Ted himself talks about Dewhurst being too old at 67 to make a difference; Ted calls Air Force and CIA veteran Dewhurst timid while casting himself, a law school veteran, as a fighter; the staff fills Twitter hashtag #txsen with false and negative tweets; and the latest garbage is Ted refusing to distance himself from Dick Armey (one of his biggest supporters) saying that Lt. Gov. Dewhurst is living off “daddy’s money“. For the record, again, Lt. Gov’ Dewhurst’s Dad was a decorated soldier and was killed by a drunk driver when the Lt. Gov. was three years old. The Lt. Gov.’s success comes from, as I noted here, his faith and his mother’s wish for him to be the type of man his father and grandfather were. Gary Scharrer over at the San Antonio Express News quotes Cruz spokesman James Bernsen with the typical Cruz campaign response, who cares if we try to rig the questions?

Can Craig James make inroads by being honest? Few have tried, that’s for sure. I wish him the best and hope he sets a trend by doing this.
