Texas needs term limits for their governor.

7. Houston, Austin, Dallas and San Antonio have not reported. Sorry MSM... and babylonsister.

No one has won anything. Thank you.

I'm sick of DUers buying into this shit.

8. Thanks! It's the only race I really care about that I voted in.

[ScreamingMeemie]

11. You are welcome. I am sick of people swallowing this crap.

From Bill White's campaign, and thanks to DUer blogslut:

For those who will be following election results, beginning with the release of the early vote sometime before 8 pm or so: we expect to be weaker in the early vote than the election day vote. And also be wary of any computer projections of a win or loss--these projections are based on historical patterns and our grassroots effort will make those type of projections unreliable in this contest.

[David Zephyr]

12. Please keep us posted. I really want Bill to win there.

Thanks for your post.

30. We should get away from MSM using the large computers as crystal balls.....

and go back to reporting ACTUAL vote tallies --

[babylonsister]

10. I sincerely hope you are right! I've been rooting for White all along. nt

[ScreamingMeemie]

13. I have my fingers crossed and will only uncross them when Bill

concedes it. :)

18. my son got in the car and told me. whattya mean major cities arent reported

assholes.... not duers

[BlueStater]

9. His frozen head will still be governor 500 years from now. N/T

[burnsei sensei]

15. They saved Perry's brain! nt

[turntxblue]

14. What's sad for you is even worse for me

because I live in TX. My husband, son and I all voted for White, but it's awfully hard to get Democrats elected in Texas. However, TX democrats deserve a bit of sympathy from all of you, as Texas Democrats are made of pretty strong stuff, or they couldn't live in such a red state. White was our best candidate since Ann Richards. Still love Ann.

16. bill white twittered to disregard early results...they will be inaccurate(before 7pm)

....so unless Perry cheats his pasty palms off,My money is still on White.

[babylonsister]

17. Thanks for that! nt

[w8liftinglady]

19. Ojala que white va a ganarse!go,Bill!I hope you win!

[w8liftinglady]

[readmoreoften]

22. I don't understand

http://enr.sos.state.tx.us/enr/results/nov02_154_county226.htm?x=0&y=0&id=44

Says he has 58% of the vote. Is it that all the cities are in or something?

[ScreamingMeemie]

23. That's Travis county, not the whole state.

He was going to do well in Travis.

[NTXDem]

24. That's

just Travis County. Austin area. Not surprising he won there. Unfortunately it's a speck of blue in the middle of teabagger insanity.

State wide he only has 40%.

Fuck!
