Caraway vs Johnson?
D magazine has uncovered information suggesting Barbara Mallory Caraway, a Texas legislator and the wife of a current Dallas City Council member of some renown, will challenge U.S. Rep. Eddie Bernice Johnson in next year’s Democratic primary. Will she actually follow through with this plan? I doubt it. She seems too smart to think for one instant she can unseat an entrenched incumbent. The only way Johnson leaves Congress is through (a) retirement or (2) she’s redistricted out of her seat.

Pete, remember when the same conventional thinking rose when she had the gall to challenge the "mayor" of West Dallas - Mattie Nash. Barbara won by apppealing to independent voters. Could happen again in a clear demo seat.

Pete, recall the same wisdom was applied when Barbara had the nerve to chalenge the "Mayor" of West Dallas - 2-term Councilmember, Mattie Nash. Barbara won by appealing to independent voters in a district not dissimular to the Cong district. It could happen.
