Craig James is not going to be the Republican candidate for the US Senate. Thank heavens. I honestly don't know anyone who voted for him. Here's hoping he spent lots of his own money on the campaign.
He spent some of his own money on the campaign, a large but not exorbitant amount, I just can't remember how much it was. And soooooo glad this tool wasn't just denied, but was denied in embarrassing fashion.
http://enr.sos.state.tx.us/enr/results/may29_160_state.htm He got 50081 votes which amounts to 3.59% of the vote. Oh, missed it by THAT much.
Without getting this thread too political, he said some stuff that would ensure that ESPN would never take him back. If they are gonna suspend someone for saying "Chink in armor" when talking about Jeremy Lin's off-night, they can't take Craig back. In fact, they are probably thanking their lucky stars that Craig was stupid enough to think the state of Texas would vote for him. SMU was your alma mater, not UT or A&M. Tech might not be everyone's school, but Mikey was everyone's pirate. Hope you saved some of that $100 handshake money, Pony Boy
An ESPN spokesperson apparently said back in February that they had no intention of rehiring him Linky
I heard he's working on writing a screenplay about a football player for a Texas college who is also a serial killer, and it details how he killed five hookers.
He did "well" in our county of nearly 500,000, garnering a whole 1,414 votes out of about 44,000 that were cast in that race.
I am SHOCKED he got over 50,000 votes. I don't know a single person down here that likes him... and most vehemently hate him.
