Wow. Jack Stick has some nerve:
Rep. Jack Stick, R-Austin, had been scheduled for weeks to show up for a joint appearance with Democratic challenger Mark Strama on Wednesday.Maybe he was afraid he'd be asked about his ties to Tom DeLay's dirty money?

Would-be debate moderator Ross Ramsey, editor of the political newsletter Texas Weekly, told officials at the Northeast Austin Rotary Club that it wouldn’t be exactly fair to have Strama debate a Stick underling. So the officials agreed to simply have Strama talk for a while about voter turnout.
