(+3 rating, 2 votes)
Loading ...I am not sure when the Texas primary is, but it’s really clear that we have NO CHOICES AT ALL. Why do Iowa and New Hampshire get to pick the candidates? Texas doesn’t even matter Look at this!
So far in Texas, it’s John Edwards or nobody
By AMAN BATHEJASo far, Texas primary voters will have two choices for president on March 4: John Edwards and none of the above.
The former senator from North Carolina is the only candidate to have filed as a candidate for president in Texas.
The filing period for next year’s primary began Monday. It ends Jan. 2.
A few more Democrats and Republicans are certain to file for president in the coming days.
More than 30 local incumbents are also up for re-election next year.
Several incumbents, including U.S. Sen. John Cornyn, R-Texas, U.S. Rep. Michael Burgess, R-Lewisville, State Sen. Kim Brimer, R-Fort Worth, and state Reps. Paula Pierson, D-Arlington, and Kelly Hancock, R-North Richland Hills, have attracted challengers.
Office Incumbent Who’s filed President George W. Bush (R) cannot run for re-election. John Edwards(D) U.S. Senator John Cornyn(R) Rick Noriega (D); Larry Kilgore (R) U.S. Representative, District 6 Joe Barton(R) Barton U.S. Representative, District 12

Does not meeting the filing deadline to run in the Texas Primary affect a Presidential candidates ability to spend money on political ads in that state? I thought that Hilary and Obama had raised a ton of money? How much does it cost to file to run in Texas?
Texas is one of the big ten electoral states if you win a majority of them the other forty states don’t matter you win the election.
Not filing to run in Texas is insulting to a big customer and a mistake the Democrats need to be called out on. Pennywise Pound foolish.
This race might not be over Hilary might get Iowa will probably get New Hampshire but If she doesn’t get Iowa then Obama does. The race will be fought then for at least 20 states.
Even if she wins Iowa the super tuesday primaries in the southern states come next and thats not exactly Hilary country.
What is everyone but Edwards thinking, Hilary is the only candidate with the money, manpower and connections to wi this race fast the other candidates need Hilary to stumble like she is doing to win.
But there is no way they can win this race before Texas votes.
