(147,275 posts)KP is a nice guy but was a weak candidate. We tried to recruit a strong candidate for this slot but the district is too gerrymandered for a Democrat to have a chance. The current CD22 went 60% for McCain in 2008.
Fort Bend County went for KP George but Kesha won in Harris county and Brazoria counties. Steven Brown and the Fort Bend Democrats did an okay job of getting the word out about Kesha. Harris County had other issues and did not take as strong as position as the Fort Bend Democratic Party did with Kesha.
Kesha has no chance of being elected to congress. She underperformed the other Democrats on the ballot in Fort Bend County in 2010 races by 10% because a large number of Democrats split their vote to vote against Kesha and the same will occur this time.
