Why did Todd Baxter resign?

[johncoby2]

Here you have a guy who has been in office only 4 years. Young., only 36. Taken under the wing of Craddock as a potential leader. And then all of a sudden, he wants to spend more time with his family? And resigns? He didn't even stay long enough to get his $34,000/year in retirement pay. He only had 4 years left to go.

I just cant help but wonder if his connection to Tom DeLay and the $35,000 he recieved from TRMPAC has anything to do with his resignation. Or maybe he is just a puss.

Or maybe he wants to spend more time with his family before he is indicted along with Tom DeLay!!!!!!!!!!!

1. He's not been in that long, has he? Was '04 his second term?

2. Looked it up. It was his second term. I think it was the DeLay money.

That was going to do him great harm with a win of only 147 votes last year.

3. Haven't a whole lotta repukes taken DeLay money?

If they all resigned, there would be no quorum. :evilgrin:

4. Oh yeah. Love the way you think. From your typing to the goddess' ear.

5. The word is he has legitimate family issues.

I personally really like the TRMPAC angle, though. I live in TX-48 and am working on his opponent's campaign but no one apparently knows the truth (yet).
