Texas 17. Democratic Rep. Chet Edwards is a survivor but hes never been in a hole this deep.
Multiple polls show him trailing by double-digits and its unclear whether his attacks on GOP challenger Bill Flores will be enough to allow Edwards to pull this one out.
Flores deserves to be favored. Move from Toss-up to Toss-up/Tilt Republican.
Polling in May of this year showed Flores beginning to seriously challenge the 10-term incumbent Democrat Congressman from Waco leading Edwards by a dozen points. But Edwards who isnt releasing his own survey remains confident he can turn the contest from a referendum on President Barack Obama and national atmospherics. into a choice between the two candidates. Script For Where are the Jobs?" (TV: 30): FLORES: Democrats in Washington think new jobs come from government programs. But I know that they come from right here in the private sector." ANNCR: Bill Flores. Hes a businessman not a politician. Bill helped build successful energy companies and created over 500 American jobs. Now Bill Flores is running for Congress." FLORES: Washington is out of control and its time for Texans to stand up and stop them. Im Bill Flores. I approve this message and Id be honored to have your support."
