We have fewer Democratic state legislators then in 2008. We still have no Democratic state-wide office holders. Texas just sent a tea bagger to Washington as a US Senator. And of the office holders we do have, we have more than our share of DINOs.

A Howard Dean 50 state strategy would be very helpful. Until then, Texas is simply a place for national & out-of-state Democratic hopefuls to pick up campaign cash.

BTW, turning those registered into voters isn't always easy.
