What are they running for?

With the primary season upon us in Texas, a radio advertisement for a candidate for Texas Railroad Commissioner informs us that he is a "pro-life conservative." While that is a good thing, I am not sure what that has to do with the office that he is seeking.

Perhaps even worse, a candidate for the state supreme court is promising to "enforce" the Constitution. Perhaps she skipped high school civics on her way to law school.
