Mark of a candidate that doesn't know his district

Pete Olson's camp is showing signs it doesn't really understand District 22 or has hired some fairly incompetent campaign staff. Of course, the guy has only lived here 6 or 7 months, so that's not hard to understand.

See, most candidates running in a Republican Primary race try to focus their time, money and attention on Republican voters. Especially Republicans that vote in the primary elections. But Olson, flush with cash donations from K-Street lobbyists and Dee Cee money (90% of his donations are from outside the district) is sending campaign literature to -- Democrats.

And not just conservative Dems that might vote occasionally in the GOP primary (cuz let's face it in Fort Bend County there just aren't that many Dems to vote for). No.... Olson is sending literature to ultra-lib Dems that make a full time job out of attacking the GOP every chance they get. One of these old gals has a blog that details the gaff.

The funny thing is, Olson not only is sending his glossy, four-color, expensive mailings to Dems -- he's sending them to "seniors" who ain't. This has the libs all a twitter that Olson might be trying to disenfranchise them. We think it's all very humorous.
