FUCKIN-A! My precinct just DOUBLED 2000 turnout!
May I add, my delightfully Democratic leaning precinct in Dallas, who voted for Big Al in 2000, but only had a paltry 250 or so voters, just turned in 528 voters IN EARLY VOTING. We have 1000 or so registered and have probably just smacked through 50% voter turnout!

And we've still got four days of Early Voting to go!

Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!

HEY, we did two precinct walks and a phonebank on this bad boy, so I'm feeling kind of proud right here.

11. A lot of Californians moved to Texas
besides Arizona, Nevada and Florida. A lot of Californians from the Bay area.

10. And just think, this isn't even in a district the national party
would have thought about twice. Imagine what is happening in S. Florida or Ohio! Damn!!

13. Not this year but long-term demographics are good for Dems in Texas
I do believe that Repubs have peaked in Texas. By the next census the Dems should once again be in control of redistricting in Texas and then the congressional delegation will swing back in Dem favor (though it is not clear yet that the redistricting coup will come up all roses for Pubs this year either. Delay in particular may at least get a little scare on election night - I could almost accept a couple more Pubs from Texas if it meant that Delay went down in the process).
