Craig James is the Deb Fischer of Texas U.S. Senate Race

"We're confident that on May 29th the whole country will be talking about yet another stunning upset"

Dallas, Texas—Political pundits were stunned last night by the come-from-behind victory of Deb Fischer in the Nebraska U.S. Senate race. Trailing in the polls until just one week before the primary election and outspent significantly by her opponents, Fischer took the high road by not engaging in the negative campaign being waged by the two leading candidates. Today, the Craig James for U.S. Senate campaign is drawing attention to how the Texas race for U.S. Senate is similar to Nebraska's race.

"The parallels between the Nebraska and Texas U.S. Senate races are remarkable," commented Corbett Howard, campaign manager for Craig James' U.S. Senate campaign. "Like Deb Fischer, Craig is a rancher who has never run for statewide office before. And like Senator Fischer, Craig has stayed above the fray in the Dewhurst/Cruz mudslinging. Our campaign has focused on engaging the grassroots with a positive message about Craig's 30 years of business experience on Real Street and that message is resonating with voters. We're confident that on May 29th the whole country will be talking about yet another stunning upset in the unpredictable 2012 U.S. Senate races."
