Sure, what this Republican candidate said was bad, but does that push you toward voting for the Democrat in Texas? No, he’s not voting for James Talarico, but the former Bush aide and strategist said he’s voting Democratic in the Texas Railroad Commission race over a nasty post that sparked a flurry of controversy from Republican candidate Bo French. To make a long story short, Mr. French stepped in it by commenting on a picture of cheering Texas Longhorns fans after their comeback win over Ohio State.

Still, Western Michigan was the more physical team, and they seemed poised to grind this one out. Michigan quarterback Bryan Underwood heaved a Hail Mary into the end zone as time expired, and it was incomplete. But officials claimed a secret clock showed the game had one second left.
