PoliTex notes that State Sen. Kim Brimer (R-Fort Worth) has filed a lawsuit to keep Wendy Davis off the ballot. From PoliTex:
The lawsuit is here.
The suit requests the court to “disqualify Davis from the November 2008 general election.”
The suit follows the same line of argument as three Fort Worth firefighters charged back in January, when they alleged in a suit that Davis couldn’t run for the state senate because she didn’t officially step down from her seat on the Fort Worth City Council before filing her candidacy.
“In effect, Davis sought to become a candidate for the Legislature at the same time she continued to hold a ‘lucrative office’, exercise her duties and enjoy the benefits of office as a member of the City Council,” the suit alleges.
We’ll see what happens, but I doubt Brimer’s lawsuit will be successful.

What a bunch of whiny bitches. Scared of competition much?
Once again, if you want to see grown people act like 5 year olds - follow local politics.

I think dude knows he is in trouble b/c people really like Wendy Davis (no relation) and he looked at the primary vote numbers and realizes this is his only shot.
