TXDUers - what's the climate over there these days?

....pretty loud Ron Paul noise in the primary, but that's completely gone away....I was surprised that Santorum and Paul didn't get more votes in the primary, but it almost all went to Romney.

I am active with the Fort Bend County party. IN 2008, we came within 4.000 votes of carrying the county. I think that we will carry the county this time.

No signs for either Obama or Romney (if that is what you are asking).

That, in itself, is unusual. In 2008, I saw many more McCain signs. This time they are just about equal. The houses that put up the McCain signs four years ago, have nothing out this time around. It's different this time, I can't say why.

As for bumper stickers, it's almost equal, too. And as reported all over the country, it's not always a Willard sticker that I see, it is an anti-Obama sticker. My personal 'favorite,' though, is the big-ass SUV with the gigantic (door width) magnets on both sides saying, "Vote for the American!" Personally, I will be early voting for the American this week.

ETA: There was a lot of visible Ron Paul support (signs and stickers) before the RNC, but I haven't seen even one since.

but I know more 1st time voters for Obama than in 2008.

That said, it is a still very red state.

Strangely, I haven't seen any Romney yard sign. I remembered McCain/Palin sign here and there in 2008.

One of the clubs and the party are selling Obama yard signs as a "fundraiser" to get these signs out. I have bought and donated three signs for polling locations.

BTW, the fundraiser loophole means that we can make a dime or so on the signs and still call it a fund raiser. We have got several thousand signs out in the county this way.

I have only only seen one Romney yard sign in my neighborhood and we have a couple of Obama signs out in my block

a little cooler at night, but warm days. Not the 107 days we had this ... oh, you mean that climate

I live in Cleburne South of Ft Wth. I have an Obama sign up, my neighbor has a Romney sign...which is OK with me. It gives my dog a place to pee.

Mostly all Repuke...pretty uppity area where I live, so I see many more Romney/Ryan signs...haven't seen one Obama sign yet around my direct area.

Plenty of bumper stickers though..most of them Romney here in the 'burbs, but once I get into Dallas, I see many more for Obama.

Harris County, apparently heeding the call of local officials to cast ballots early, shattered the 2008 record for the first day of early voting on Monday.

Monday's total of early votes cast in person was 47,903, or 20 percent more than the previous record of 39,201 cast four years ago, the Harris County Clerk's Office said.

Looks promising.

California changed, it started slowly, but once it started to tip, it changed swiftly.

We did a pretty damn good job registering voters this year. We even qualified for a campaign stop by Bill Clinton in SA!

Good times for Texas! Still, we're going to send a Teabagger to the senate, and go solidly for Romney. We need to work on our ground game a lot more.
