February 08, 2008Texas Primary Vote Counts, Yay!There's excitement among Texan Dems over actually having our vote count for a change. A debate is scheduled for 3/28 in Houston. I expect TX to go even stronger for Clinton than CA did. Hispanics are even stronger here, and we have alot of old-style, Southern conservative, rural Dems, who sympathize with Clinton for the same reason many voters in Arkansas' neighbors did. That's pretty likely going to add up to more than 2/3 of Austin (he's a virtual rock star here) and various scattered (D) metropolitan congressional districts.

Welcome to the club. First time since the 70's since California had any relevance, or anyone seriously campaigned her for more than just our pocketbooks.
I agree. But now that McCain has pretty much sealed up the Republican nominee, I could see some voters who would have otherwise voted McCain crossing over to vote Obama -- the open primary could bring a surprise. But I see our fair state going for Clinton. Posted by: ASC at February 8, 2008 10:28 AMJoyful here in Kansas too, getting stump visits from candidates for the first time in forever. Saw Obama two weeks ago, and if one fo the kids wasn't home sick today I'd already be waiting for Huckabee to show at 11, McCain at 1, and still be ignoring the Paul appearance at 6. :-) Dem caucus was Supeer Tuesday, and I went. GOP caucus is tomorrow, and I may go to that as well. (I was an "observer" for the Dem caucus, not a voter.) Posted by: Tully at February 8, 2008 11:13 AM |
