| Description | No one is more thrilled with the Republican Club for Growth than Arlene Wohlgemuth, who is seeking to oust Chet Edwards, a six-term Democratic congressman in a Texas district that includes President Bush's Crawford ranch.
More than $337,000 in donations have already come into Ms. Wohlgemuth's campaign from all over the country, thanks to the Club for Growth, a conservative group that has solicited its 16,000 members on behalf of Ms. Wohlgemuth. And the club has already spent $75,000 on television advertisements praising Ms. Wohlgemuth as one of the most conservative politicians in Texas, well to the right of her two Republican primary rivals and, of course, Mr. Edwards.
None of this financial largess was sought by Ms. Wohlgemuth. It fell into her lap without her having to lift a finger and has already helped her dispatch one of her Republican primary rivals. |
