"Most candidates in the top Texas races already have sites on the Web. Others are building theirs....Consultant Mark Sanders, who's advising GOP land commissioner candidate David Dewhurst, remains leery. 'The only person who looks at a Web site is the guy doing opposition research for the other side,' he said." (Dallas News, 8/30/98)
