8. Which is why I hope that the Dem party keep their eye on TX
come this November...the TX repukes seem to be in a defcon level 5 stage of panic and most likely will stop at nothing to keep TX as red as possible on a local, state, and national level. Down ticket repubs are screwed even more than they were in 2006 and they came to realize with the Dem turnout in our primary.

They had a GOTV recently. When the TX repuke party feels a need to have a GOTV for TX repukes, you know that THEY know, they're in big trouble.

The state GOP. And it's going blockin' and knockin' in 50 counties on Saturday. Volunteers, along with a few big-wigs, are aiming to reach out to 100,000 households. The GOPers will hand out literature, register folks to vote and also ask homeowners who they plan to support come November.
This will help Texas Victory 2008, which is organizing the event, to identify and target likely GOP supporters and get them to the polls.
Even if the folks who answer the door say they're Democrats, "we'll register anyone and everybody to vote," said Bech Bruun of Texas Victory. "Now, I can't guarantee that we'll go back and encourage them to vote come closer to November."

Yeah, sure they will "register" Democrats...and then try to purge their vote thru "voter fraud" in November, no doubt.
