Asking for some good DU vibes for my beloved Texas today.

[hamsterjill]

I'm asking for some DU good vibes for Texas today as this could be a real turning point.

Those of us with any sense down here have worked our butts off to get Dems elected. We've talked, we've stood up and countered the lies of the Republicans, we've laughed, we've cried, and now we've voted. We've taken anyone we could with us to the voting booth, too.

So it's up to what happens today. Texas either moves forward today, or else Texas dives back into the hands of the Rick Perry types and we go backwards yet again. As a life long, sixth generation Texan, please trust me when I say that we desperately need to move forward.

Thank you in advance for any good thoughts, prayers, vibes, white light, etc. that you are willing to send to us today.

Go, Wendy and Leticia, Go!!!!!!!!

1. Texas always has my high hopes, even when it gets my harsh criticism.

Texas is a State that is changing, that has the most virulent Republican organization in the country to contend with, but when Texas does finally step forward it will be a watershed moment for the entire country.

2. Thank you.

Love the way you stated that!

3. A more liberal Texas might find me living there

There are some amazing cities, natural wonders and great chow. On the beach. Or Austin. Even Huston can make me happy, sprawl and I are old pals from my CA days.....

4. Heavy All Day Storms throughtout North and East Texas

not just a line of Thunderstorms-rain pretty much expected for most of the Day

[Aristus]

5. If Texas elects Wendy Davis Governor today.

I may regain my pride at being a native-born Texan.

If not, I can still be a proud Washingtonian, with apple juice in my veins...

6. I've knocked on a lot of doors

My hopes are that we make huge in roads in people voting blue. I wish I could be optimistic about winning, but I'm at least wanting to see that we have really turned the numbers around. So much so, that the Teabaggers in our state start to really worry.

7. +1

Thank you for your efforts, and may your hopes become reality!!!!!

12. Thanks for your kind words

Worked with some good Dems this election. Things seemed more organized this time around, and we found some very favorable homes. I saw some who were totally working their asses off, everyday of the week.

The effort was certainly there. I hope we get some good news from all the hard work.

8. Remember when a singer named Greg Abbott sang "Shake You Down?"

Well the politician Greg Abbott will do just that, and not in a good way. He's a complete bastard, woman-hater, lover of Ted Nugent, and world class hypocrite.

Texas has endured lousy governance for 20 years, but I don't know how much more the working class and poor of Texas can take.

9. I remember "Shake You Down"

The crooner was a lot more talented than the politician by the same name. Better looking, too! LOL

All you say is correct. It absolutely STUNS me that more Texans don't see this election as clearly as it is. It is literally the choice between moving forward and going backwards.

20. Loved that song! Hell, I'd vote for him before any Republican...unless he's a Republican.

What ever happened to him, anyway? He had that one hit, then disappeared.

Good looking fellow, too.

[LoisB]

10. I hope you guys do it.

[fizzgig]

11. i know you guys have worked your butts off

and i'm hoping, hoping, hoping for you.

toss some of those good thoughts up colorado way, if you would. i'm not freaked out, but i am a bit apprehensive.

[hamsterjill]

14. Good vibes coming north!

Good luck to Colorado!!!

[Sweet Freedom]

13. I did notice today that

a lot of time was taken by each voter, which means people weren't voting straight ticket. I think that's a good sign.

I also noticed a hell of a lot of uncontested republican judges! That is an ongoing trend in Texas that I wish would end.

[hamsterjill]

15. I agree with you on the uncontested spots.

We need a Dem in every category! I know it's a money issue, but there needs to be a name there even if that person hasn't spent any money campaigning.

[Stallion]

16. Depends on County-eg Dallas Has Gone Democratic

and there are a bunch of races Republicans didn't contest (I bet they wished they had now since it has been raining all day long)

[Laura PourMeADrink]

17. I had high hopes until I heard Bill Maher say last weekend that

Dem Gov down 21 pts and Dem Lt Gov down 17

Why in the world, would a person who gave 1 mill to Obama discourage everyone like that?

I am feverish with a bad cold - and it's raining but gonna drag myself out soon - anyway

[hamsterjill]

18. Thank you, and I hope you feel better soon!

I agree with you!!!

The negativity has been intense this time around. I'm tired of hearing how bad it's going to be. Let's count the votes first.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

19. Well in TX I have noticed that almost no one I have

met since I moved here talks about politics at all. Educated people, business owners, everyday folks...no one. It is the weirdest place ever. Bet if you polled the population only 10-20% probably even know dingbat Perry was indicted.

I am out the door - gotta vote for Wendy !

[Avalux]

21. I am hoping for a huge surprise today!

It could happen - we've registered a record number of new voters, and in spite of the efforts to disenfranchise citizens, turnout is great. If you remember, Ann Richards was way behind in all the polls and ended up winning. Let's hope history repeats itself.

Go Team Wendy!

[hamsterjill]

22. Let's hope!

I'll take it if history does repeat itself.

23. Voted - Dem and if no Dem Green and if no Dem or

Green - wrote my friend's name in.

It was absolutely torrential rain - but pretty crowded at 4 pm
