He is no Tom Delay, that is for sure.
The only time you hear or see him has to do with NASA, ususlly standing in the back row at some press conference.
Pete reminds me of those kids in school who always sat in the back of the class, hiding, afraid they will be called upon.
I'll be voting Republican in Nov., so by default he'll get my vote.
What makes you think the local (2,11,13,26, Barnicle) media would put Pete in a positive light? He’s a Republican.
Also, he is a freshman. Freshman don’t generally stand in front of any Congressional gathering or press conference. Tom DeLay was one of the most powerful men in the House and commanded respect, but that didn’t happen the day after he was sworn in. It took some time.
BTW, NASA is in Pete’s district.
