[theHandpuppet]

1. I'm so sorry

I know there were so many hard working folks working to get her elected. We've had some real disappointments tonight.

[AtomicKitten]

2. that's a damn shame

[libtodeath]

3. That was a real long shot but just makes me sicker

[Sissyk]

4. I'm sorry.

I was hoping she had a chance to win and help out Texas.

5. somuch for texas turning blue

though much of it was the GOP tryign to keep latinos from voting. The sad fact is, most of us latinos want to beacceprted for what we are, were and always will be, Americans. However, one too many of these elections where you win by cheating, and we will not cry if someone makes the fantasy of a reconqusita come true.

6. You'll get it next time

7. Her life was just too full of drama

boring wins.. There was a time when flamboyance & excitement was enough, but the Puritans are pretty much in charge these days, and our icky media revels in every juicy detail until people choose boring...

9. It was a long shot, but let's look at it this way....

there was a lot of enthusiasm generated, and even though Wendy lost, the pendulum is swinging. As long as I live here I won't stop fighting to turn Texas blue.

10. Was there really any doubt this was going to happen?

After all, this is TX.

11. Ugh. Abbott will prove to be worse than Perry.

But yeah, I expected the morans in my state to vote...sad that 99% of them vote against their own best interest. Oh well, I VOTED for her and I know others that did too...so when I hear complaints from GOPukers, I'm just going to tell them to talk to the hand.

[shenmue]

12. Fuck the Republicans

This is like the time I got mono.

[tammywammy]

13. I can't wait for my mandatory monthly vaginal ultrasounds.

With four years of Abbott in the governors mansion it can't be too far away.

[geek tragedy]

14. Forget it Jake. It's Texas. nt

[marions ghost]

15. Sorry to hear

[Ampersand Unicode]

16. What do you expect from Texass fascists

Look in the dictionary under "ignorant" and you'll see a map of Texas.

And a picture of all their governors since (i.e. NOT INCLUDING) Ann Richards. Bush, Perry... now Abbott.
