Bonnen asks peeps to vote for dead candidate


State Rep. Dennis Bonnen, R-Angleton, has pulled the ultimate October surprise -- just in time for Halloween!

Bonnen is asking voters in northern Brazoria County to vote for a political candidate who is no longer living.

"I hope she wins," he told the Clute paper, referring to deceased state Rep. Glenda Dawson of Pearland.

Bonnen has had signs erected in support of Dawson, leaving the only living candidate in the race, Alvin physician Anthony DiNovo, wondering whether he should "go negative" or take the high road and assume the prematurely balding Bonnen has either lost his mind or is simply following orders from Karl Rove.

“How do you run against someone who’s dead?” the sawbones asked.
