Republican: Government Should Push Religion - Video
Republican Camden County freeholder candidates Kimone Smith and Teddy Liddell are running a shoestring, shoe-leather campaign.
They're knocking on doors and shaking hands in hopes of serving on a board that has been GOP-free for 21 years - in a county government where the last elected Republican left office in 1996.
And they're campaigning in a county of 228 square miles and half a million people where their party is locally competitive in just a handful of municipalities.
"Yes, you can call me something of an idealist," Smith, 25, a fitness trainer who lives in Camden's Parkside section, says with a smile.
Democrats have a 3-1 registration edge over Republicans in Camden County, and Smith and Liddell are African American, a demographic accounting for perhaps 5 percent of the Republican electorate nationally.
Facts like these can stimulate interesting conversations on the campaign trail.
"When I'm out in the city, talking to people, everyday people, and I tell them I'm a Republican, they go, 'Oh, why are you with those boys?' " Smith says.
"I have to break it down for them: Republicans have not done anything wrong to Camden city, or Camden County. We are not the reason why the county is in the shambles that it is."

GOP freeholder candidates wage uphill fight in Camden County
Governor
Republican Greg Abbott, the three-term attorney general, is a favorite over Democratic state Sen. Wendy Davis of Fort Worth.
Their race, which has drawn national attention, has featured heated charges of unethical dealings and disputes on issues from spending to immigration. The race is the first in which no incumbent is running since 1990.
Lieutenant governor
Two state senators are competing for the right to preside over the chamber. Tea-party favorite Dan Patrick of Houston holds the edge, but Leticia Van de Putte of San Antonio is aiming to drive up turnout among Hispanic voters and moderate women.
Attorney general
Republican Ken Paxton of McKinney is the likely winner, though hes been dogged by ethics charges. Democrat Sam Houston, an attorney from Houston, hopes to take advantage.
U.S. Senate
Incumbent Republican John Cornyn is all but certain to win a third term, and if Republicans win control of the Senate, hell be the No. 2 leader in the chamber. Democrat David Alameel, a Dallas dentist and investor, has focused his campaign on Democratic strongholds.
