Texas District 2: Judge Ted Poe has become a bit of a national folk hero for his unusual approach to retribution for criminals, known as "creative sentencing." (Liberals hate it.) As noted in news accounts, his sentences have included requiring "murderers to hang pictures of their victims in their jail cells, auto thieves to give their cars to victims, and minor offenders to read books from a court-approved reading list." He is obviously an independent and creative thinker — skills that Congress desperately needs. This is another district with a liberal Democratic incumbent (four-term Rep. Nick Lampson) endangered by the newly drawn congressional-district lines. It would be nice to retire Lampson early. Well, I did what I can. Voted straight Republican this morning at 7:30 AM. Took 15 minutes. Poe lives a couple miles due south of me.
