Team Skelly in Politico

Linkage for now, commentary to follow ...

» Politico: Dems seek Texas seat held by elder Bush

Some interesting math by Culberson in the article:

"President Bush's failure to secure the border and embrace of spending programs took every Republican across the country down around five to 10 points," Culberson said.

Five to ten, eh? Let's see ... Culberson won 59% in 2006. What's 59 minus 10?

UPDATE: Others taking an interest ....
