Rep. McCall won't name backers but he is confident he can oust Texas House Speaker Tom Craddick. Rep. Warren Chisum (R-Pampa) is among those saying, not so fast. Reports the Houston Chronicle:

Chisum — along with Republican Reps. Frank Corte of San Antonio and Phil King of Weatherford, and Democratic Rep. Norma Chavez of El Paso — said after the meeting that those who claim support should show their list of pledged backers.

"If you have support, then show me your list," Chavez said.

Craddick released a list of 84 backers. The House has 150 members. Dallasblog.com reports a source has told the site McCall has the support of at least 25 House members.
