Indeed Marley!
I'm very happy to see that Texas is now considered "competitive, and is out of the "red."
It shows that the Texas Democrats are beginning to retake our Great State!
Ding, Dong, the Bitch is Dead (or dying), the Wicked Bitch is gone (or going), and Dead (or dying)!
Maybe when (if) the GOP gets their shit together, they'll recognize that there are more than two colors within the fabric of American politics, instead of red and blue, and black and white.
That's conceivable, but not likely.
Prior to Tom DeLay, and the GOP take over all of the State Wide elected seats in Texas, it use to be that no matter which party banner an elected representative won their seat under, once they were sworn in they did what was right for the people of Texas.
Since the GOP has been in control for nearly 12 years now, our State Parks have fallen into disrepair, our schools are failing, are air is more polluted, and our environment is less protected, and handful have gotten richer, while the rest have been left to fend for themselves.
This didn't happen because of "less government" it happened because the foxes were put in charge of watching the hen houses, and Government has been nothing more than representatives of those who have the most money to invest in their local representatives; either through the election process, or through legislation.
The battles in Austin have been more about partisan power struggles, and political positioning than about governing.
So it could happen. I just don't see how at this point.
Though, in the last Governor's Race, we have our first "Independent" (Kinky Friedman) and he faired better than most.
Like I said earlier in this thread, I'm glad that Texas is no longer listed as a "Red State."
