Here's an overview of what Ron Paul candidates are up against in Texas.
Texas Republican Congressional Primaries - March 4, 2008
DISTRICT 4
Kevin George (http://kevingeorgeforcongress.org/home.htm) ($11,964 raised)
Ralph Moody Hall (http://www.ralphhallcongressman.com/) (Incumbent; $215,933 raised)
Gene Christensen (http://www.geneforcongress.com/) ($87,340 raised)
Joshua Kowert (http://www.kowertforcongress.com/) ($0 raised)
Kathy Seei (http://www.kathyseei.com/) ($54,487 raised)
George looks to be up against some stiff competition. Ralph Hall used to be a Democrat but in 2004 became a Republican. He's 84 years old but is still running for re-election. Christensen and Seei have also raised large sums. This will be a very tough win for Kevin George. Oh, and for what its worth, Gene Christensen has been endorsed by Chuck Norris.
DISTRICT 14
Ron Paul (http://www.ronpaulforcongress.com/) (Incumbent; $100,636 raised)
Chris Peden (http://www.chrispeden.org/) ($43,262 raised)
Ron Paul obviously has the money and is the incumbent, but we should probably not write off the candidacy of Peden completely. He is specifically running against Ron Paul and is trying to unite neo-cons against him by saying Peden is the true Republican. Chris Peden is running smear attacks against Ron Paul, even using his bid for president against him. Here's a quote from the front page of his website:
I am a proven conservative Republican; the incumbent is a self-described Libertarian. I support winning the Global War on Terror and the War on Drugs; the incumbent does not. I think Islamo-Fascist terrorists were responsible for the 9/11 attacks; the incumbent thinks America's Middle East policy's were responsible for the attacks. I support fully funding NASA's budget and the Vision for Space Exploration; the incumbent does not. I will support and vote for the Republican nominee for U.S. President in 2008, the incumbent will not (unless it's him.)
It is clear that I better represent the priorities and the values of the voters in the 14th congressional district.
If you agree that it is time for a change, send me to Washington. D.C, so that I deliver conservative results...for a change.

Those are my thoughts on the liberty candidates in Texas.
What are the thoughts of those Texas members in districts 4 and 14?
