3. Did you read the post or is that just an auto-response when you see Texas?

:eyes:


I'm so happy for Nick. This is poetic justice after that jackass Delay cost him his seat over in my part of the state. I hope the results hold up!

4. No, my eyes are bouncing all over the place

Sorry....

5. I understand, we're all on edge

This is THE karma race of the season, though. Hell will freeze, thaw and refreeze if a Dem really wins the 22nd. :)

7. Well, as the Dallas NPR station noted

We will just be renting that seat for two years. It is too gerrymandered to keep without huge passion against the repugs. It will be a nice party in the meantime.

6. Way to go Texas!

Make yourself proud!

2. Okay...

So for those who may actually care that a Dem appears to be winning DeLay's old seat...
