Chris BellAnother interesting endorsement today in the ayem paper. The DMN likes Chris Bell, the fresh face in the Democratic primary for governor, over longtime pol Bob Gammage.  The ed board prefers Bell's "pragmatic tone on issues like school funding that would position Democrats in the center" and feels he would work better with Republicans. Gammage, who has sat in various political chairs -- legislator, congressman and Supreme Court justice -- appears too progressive, too old-school Democrat. Gammage, however, seems to be attracting much of what's left of the Democrat loyalists, although many say they'll support Bell if he gets the nomination. Will it matter? Who knows. Dean Barkley, campaign manager for independent candidate Kinky Friedman, said last week in Dallas he has never seen a state Democratic party so down and out as the one in Texas.
