Shelley a true long shot

From GOP consultant Royal Masset:

But he said the scandal means less chance of the GOP winning what he saw as long-shot races, such as Houston City Councilwoman Shelley Sekula-Gibbs' write-in effort to beat Democrat Nick Lampson for former U.S. Rep. Tom DeLay's seat or Van Taylor's campaign to unseat Democratic U.S. Rep. Chet Edwards. "Those outside-chance races are the kind you always win by a few hundred votes, and it's a miracle," Masset said. "This is going to knock out thousands of votes."

Long shot indeed!
