Dems to Kinky: Go To Bell

FrontBurner's Rod Davis is the first D/FW blogger to call for Kinky Friedman to drop out of the race for Texas Governor and throw his support to Democratic nominee Chris Bell - sort of. He at least lays out the positives for Friedman for doing so.

Paul Bourgeois doesn't quite hop on board, either, but he does find intriguing possibilities, suggesting the Kinkster could jazz up Bell and Bell could tone down Kinky.

Tom Pauken, of Dallas Blog, plays it straight, reporting Chris Bell's call for Friedman to drop out and Friedman's rejection of the overture.

Michael Landauer, of Dallas Morning Views, straddles the fence, saying it could send Mr Bell shooting up through the polls or make him look desperate and whiny. Actually, Mr Bell's action won't do either, causing Mr Landauer to be wrong even as he tries to cover all bases in his wishy-washy analysis.
