John Cornyn voted for the FISA bill, which runs rampant over our civil liberties. Rick Noriega would have voted against it.
Reason number 482 why Texas needs to put Rick Noriega in the Senate.
Help the ACLU fight the good fight here. (and check out their great advertising, too.)
Deep in the heart of ruby-red Texas, John Cornyn only leads by 4 points. The campaign hasn’t even started yet, and the incumbent is below 50% and Noriega is nipping at his heels. This race just moved into the top-tier.
Texas needs two senators who will back our veterans:
John Cornyn failed to stand up for our troops — I will
News Item 1: The boycott of DailyKos by Hillary Clinton supporters will be almost completely ineffective, for a number reasons. The first is that, well, there just aren’t very many Hillary supporters on the web. If you look at the demographics of primary voters from exit polls, you’ll see that the more highly [...]
From a mailing list I’m on, another example of why the Texas two-step hybrid system is FUBAR:

Wow - just saw this: Imagine a best case scenario, where Clinton wins every remaining congressional district by almost 25%.
Her gain? Only 110 delegates. Obama would still lead by 50 pledged delegates.
Now do you wonder why she’s fighting so hard for MI and FL to count?
With 40% of caucus returns in, Obama is still up 12% in Texas. It looks like both CNN and Burnt Orange have given her a 4-delegate lead from the primaries. At best, I’d say she may be able to squeak out a one-or two delegate margin, if everything goes her way in the caucus [...]
Hillary Clinton won tonight’s popular vote in Texas, but it appears as though Barack Obama will win the most delegates from Texas.
The best primary delegate analysis is this spreadsheet, being updated live by the Burnt Orange Report crew. As it stands, at 1:00, Clinton is up by only 1 delegate, despite being over [...]
