Is this the guy where they parked a U-Haul van in front of his office?

Probably good news, but for those of us not in Texas, can you be more revealing on details of this race?

This is awesome news. Chet was a Dem in a very R precinct. He was good to the troops but voted for Pelosi

I’d say an incumbent Democrat losing his seat is a good thing. :)

Chet was the most conservative Democrat in Congress - probably voted AGAINST Obama, 95% of the time - one of the last Blue dawgs ...

Chet was one of those Dems that behaved conservative (in a conservative district) when home, but gave Nancy the “tough votes”. He’s been there forever. If this holds, BIG, BIG, victory out here.

It was expected...Edwards was another Pelosi Dim that needed to be retired.

He was Pelosi’s Behar and his demise is a good thing.

As one who lives in the Peoples' Soviet of Washington I am delighted to hear there are still pro-troop Dems (I think of Scoop Jackson), but voting for Pelousi could not have been a good move. Thanks (for the quick response)!

Hot damn! Chet was a Democrat schmuck when I met him 30 years ago. Glad to see it finally caught up with him—
