Just in: Hillary Clinton's campaign is launching a one-week ad buy in Texas, per an aide.

I would also think about spend a little in AK. Ads purchasing should be relatively cheap there. clutterbox1830 Oct 2016 #7

states, and let's hit Trump hard.

Trump-Pence would mean a significant reduction in the quality of life for many people. Let's say so, and say so in no uncertain terms.

I am not sure that spending time in Georgia and Texas makes much sense otherwise.

"Democrats are expressing cautious optimism about the state of the race in Texas, saying the polling, at the least, bodes well for down-ballot candidates and the post-2016 future of the beleaguered state party. Few are openly talking about winning the state this time around, though they cannot help but wonder what the margin will look like on Election Day if it is so irregularly narrow two months out."

I do not see a forum for Arizona Democrats. Please pass this along to anyone who might be interested.

I started working on my early ballot this morning. Please take the time to include Judges of the Superior Court. It looks like former Gov. Brewer tried to stack the courts during her tenure.

I found a great site to help me with this. The site is running on the slow side, worth the wait. You can click on List of Candidates to find the name on the ballot. If the judge was appointed by rump supporter Jan Brewer, I voted NO. You can also see what their party affiliation was before the appointment to the court.

This is terrific news for sweeping the GOP out.

Now all we have to do is show our support and do our part to GOTV!!!

Otherwise I don't think they would do this ad buy.

Will be an Electoral vote blowout on top of a popular vote decimation.
