Conservatives are upset with Republican Rep. Pete Sessions for signing a mutual disarmament pact with Democratic Rep. Martin Frost, forgoing ''outside'' support in their race against each other in Texas this year.

Sessions is the incumbent Republican House member party leaders worry about most in the redistricted Texas congressional map that is intended to pick up six GOP seats. ''Voters in the 32nd District of Texas deserve the opportunity to make an informed choice for Congress based on the views expressed by the candidates themselves,'' said the joint letter signed by Sessions and Frost, a former member of the House Democratic leadership.

A footnote: Republican John Thune made a similar disarmament statement in 2002 when he narrowly lost to Democratic Sen. Tim Johnson in South Dakota. Thune has not repeated the mistake this year in opposing Senate Minority Leader Tom Daschle.

1. Sessions Had His Head Handed To Him At His Saturday Town Hall Meeting

The crowd was angry and surly.

It did not go well for him.

2. Martin Frost is a class act

I hope that he can pull this out. Part of the redistricting was designed to get rid of Frost and L. Doggett. There is a chance that both could survive.
