1. The turnout in the Houston and Dallas Metroplex areas appears to reflect this.

2. Texas

The conventional wisdom is that Talarico would fare better in the General Election.

5. Not a Texan

But reading about the race, it seems Crockett will generate lots of attention to our causes with her rhetoric. Talerico seems like a more able legislator. An interesting race.

3. With the polls all over the place, all I know is that...

Whichever of our candidates advances to the General Election had better either win or come damn close to doing so. Otherwise, there's going to be ton of second guessing.

4. Flipping the Texas seat blue is not going to be easy

but Texas Democats get to decide which candidate advances.

7. With her robocall, Kamala appears to think she has a say so in the matter.

8. Senator Martin Heinrich of New Mexico endorsed Talarico.

The Democratic voters in Texas however, are the ones who get to fill out the ballot.

6. The Polling in the Texas Democratic Senate primary is all over the place

While I have already voted for Talarico, I would be very happy to support Crockett if she is the nominee. Texas Democrats are blessed with two amazing persons running for this seat which is why the polling has been all over the place.

I thought our 2024 MD senate primary had some of the worst polling but TX you are the winner hands down. I really have no clue who will win on Tuesday and I am okay with that.

One or none of these polls got it right, I never seen no shit like this 🤷🏽‍♀️

Here is the latest average of the polling

These numbers are all within the margin of error and so I would not be surprised to see either candidate emerge as the nominee. Again, Texas Democrats are blessed with two amazing candidates and we will be fortunate to have either candidate be our nominee to run against hopefully Paxton.

9. I love them both.
