Recently I watched the documentary The Last Man Standing about a 2002 race in Texas where cute Democrat Patrick Rose defeated incumbent and self-described "right wing nut" Rick Green in a race for a seat in the state legislature.

Today, the right wing nut tried to beat up his former opponent outside their polling place in the dreadfully named community Dripping Springs. From the Austin American Statesman:

A witness said Rick Green shoved and then punched state Rep. Patrick Rose, D-Dripping Springs, while both stood outside a polling place this morning at Sunset Canyon Baptist Church east of Dripping Springs.

"Patrick Rose looked like he was trying to get away and then a bunch of men came over and pulled Rick Green off," the witness said. "He continued trying to go after him and kept shouting 'You need to stop lying' and 'Let him defend himself, the big baby.' "
