Rick Perry vs The World -

I mentioned on Friday that Chris Bell had gotten an endorsement which seemed to be less impressive than initially appeared. That is, a Chris Bell staffer is an officer of the PAC. However, I didn't read the endorsement.

Kevin did, and this is what he found:

[Chris Bell's] legacy parlayed itself into his mayoral campaign, where once again, he astounded the city by backing out of a run-off race, and endorsing Lee Brown. Rather than put the city through a divisive three-way run-off, Congressman Bell decided to back out and serve elsewhere.

The notion of a three-way runoff is hilarious to me. The notion that Bell decided to back out serve elsewhere is simply factually incorrect. He lost with about 16% of the vote.

Those mistakes will certainly make your PAC look a bit amateur-ish.

Shortly following our endorsement of Congressman Chris Bell, Democrat,
as our candidate for Governor, we were contacted by representatives of
the Chris Bell for Governor Campaign. They were happy to have our
support, but pointed out a factual error in our blog announcement.
Our original endorsement erroneously characterized the nature of
Congressman Bell's candidacy for the Mayor of Houston.
Mr. Bell got 16% in the mayor's race and subsequently endorsed Lee
Brown in the runoff.. Our endorsement stated that Congressman Bell
- Hide quoted text -
had stepped out of the race, making room for Lee Brown.

As the one responsible for researching Mr. Bell's past and authoring
our statement of endorsement, I take full responsibility for this
error, and I am glad to have this opportunity to correct my statement.
I wish to thank the Bell campaign for bringing this error to my
attention. I shall take greater care in the future regarding any
statement.

We are still proud to stand behind Mr. Bell as he stands for election
in Texas, and will do everything in our power to aid him.
