Unlikely Tea Party Candidate Challenges State Senator
State Sen. Jeff Wentworth, R-San Antonio, expected a tough fight in the GOP primary for Senate District 25. But instead, he has instead been tussling with Dr. Donna Campbell, a political newcomer who has broad Tea Party support.
Campbell came into the primary with a fraction of the money that was being collected and spent by Elizabeth Ames Jones and Jeff Wentworth. But in forcing a runoff, Campbell found increased interest and increased donations. The campaign is now using that money to introduce Campbell to voters, especially in Bexar County, Wentworth's home.

We need to run these rhinos off and Campbell will get the job done

It is spelled "RINO". Your lack of intelligence and writing skills is abominable. I certainly hope you are more intelligent than your reasoning and diction indicates but doubt it. Typical ignorant TEA Partier.
Campbell is a disaster. She uses her title "Dr" in her signs and proudly displays the fact she is a "woman of faith". The real problem is that she has no public policy knowledge as demonstrated is the Dripping Springs debate where she had no ideas on how to deal with power and water shortages. Her whole idea is to keep cutting spending and restore the country to its Christian values. In short, more of the same ideology that continues to drag this state back to the 19th century.

The story failed to mention Wentworth has gone negative. He is spreading an outrages lie that Dr Campbell want to raise the sell tax. He is the one who at resent debate is Dripping Spring kept talking about raising taxes. Dr Campbell, not Wentworth, has signed a no new taxes pledge. His campaign also "accidentally" released a 29 page dossier on Dr. Campbell and her family to the press.
