Sibley challenges opponent's eligibility in Senate race

Republican David Sibley of Waco, trying to recapture the senate seat he gave up a decade ago, is challenging the eligibility of perhaps his strongest opponent in a special election that will be held for the now vacant post on May 8. Sibley contends that fellow Republican Brian Birdwell of Granbury, a retired lieutenant colonel in U.S. Army, cannot serve in the Senate because he does not meet the constitutional requirement of five years of continuous residency in Texas to run. Terry Stutz reports.
