Chris Bell is running out of money for the final week of the poetical political television campaign.
(Houston Chronicle) Democrat Chris Bell’s gubernatorial campaign was sputtering toward running out of cash Monday
At least two Houston television stations — KPRC and KHOU — have no Bell campaign commercials booked or paid for to air after today. Two of Bell’s rival campaigns say that is true at television stations across Texas.
All is not lost dear folks. Chris has got himself a “Sugar Daddy”. I think we know who Mr. Bell will be owing his allegiance to.
Bell said late in the day that Houston trial lawyer John O’Quinn had given his campaign another $300,000 to keep his advertising on the air.
Outdone by Kinky no less. The shame.
Even independent Kinky Friedman entered the home stretch with more cash on hand than Bell. Friedman’s campaign plans to spend $750,000 on television in the last seven days before the Nov. 7 election. And Friedman also is benefiting from about $66,000 in advertising paid for by singer Willie Nelson.
But Chris, are you gone or not?
When reporters asked Bell if his campaign was about to go off network television, he replied: “We’ll see today.” Bell spent the afternoon in Houston trying to raise more money.
Bell campaign manager Jason Stanford said rumors of Bell going dark on TV are premature.
“We have substantial new money that will keep us up as we are now currently. Not going dark. It’s late-breaking. … Scout’s honor,” Stanford said.
“Late-breaking”? Will we see Chris going door to door trick or treating for pennies? It is Halloween you know.

Suckup!
Chris Bell’s campaign needs my help so I am offerring it in the form of my “Top Ten” list of captions for this picture:
1) Chris has me washing car windshields, next.
2) I won’t lie, Chris needs a beer just like me.
3) Chris Bell’s tax policies made me this way and I want to stay this way.
4) If I was still in charge in Iraq, I would donate to Chris Bell.
5) Chris gets the change, I take the bills.
6) I’m trying to payback John O’Quinn for defending me.
7) I’m all the advertising Chris can afford.
9) I’ll bet if is was black, Quanell Ten would help me.
10) Chris wants me to try to buyoff Grandma and Kinky.
Here, Chris, I hope this helps. As usual, feel free to add to my list.
Is that Saddam working for the Bell camp?
bell is just some schlepper they threw in there to take the ceremonial hatchet for the democratic party in texas. He is a good democrat and does what he is told. If they say jump, he says how far. whatever.
Poor Chris - he’s such an idiot
Poor Chris. He was born with a silver head up his a$$.
ROFLMAO that is so good.
He’s in such financial distress he couldn’t even afford to buy a pole for his sign.
Who has spare change after paying property taxes? Where is the container to collect it anyone decides to contribute? Poor logistical planning.
Prior post should read…to collect IF anyone decides to contribute?
I can’t believe LST is running that “please give to poor pitiful Chris” free campaign ad!
Isn’t that a typical liberal tactic, spend more until you don’t have enough left and then WHINE about how little money you have left!
Stay-at-homes and Kinky/Grandma voters are pushing Chris forward!
