Chris Bell campaign runs out of gas.

"L" IS FOR LIAR.

The Chris Bell campaign was caught in another lie yesterday
, as it told the media that it had bought enough media time for the last week of the election. It turns out they have no cash, and no media purchased for the last week.

A couple weeks ago, the Chris Bell Big Lies campaign said they would get $5 Million from John O'Quinn, enough to run a real campaign. The financial report from yesterday shows Bell received $1 Million, and another million as a loan from O'Quinn. 2 Million aint 5 Million.

Houston Chronicle this morning reports the Bell Campaign has run out of gas.

Chris Bell does not have the money to have a marked television presence in the gubernatorial campaign's final week. Because of the state's size, television ads are crucial for a statewide run. It costs $1 million to air an ad statewide for a week. Bell doesn't have 1 million, but he is 1 million in debt.

Chris Bell was simply an unfunded placeholder for 2006. If Bell steps aside and endorses Strayhorn, he could be a hero, instead of a zero.

No wonder Perry keeps pointing to the unfunded Bell as his main competitor. Yeah right.

"Please don' trow me in de briar patch," sez Perry.
