Early voting in Texas started today, and as I'd promised, I voted today.

(7,574 posts)haven't decided whether to vote straight D ticket or for individual races.... a few of the D's are questionable... such as Kinky Friedman, running for Ag. com?

Thank you for going tomorrow!!!

(54,436 posts)One more Texas vote for Wendy--maybe a miracle will occur, and Texas women will realize--before they vote--what they will have done to themselves if Greg Abbott becomes our next governor.

(15,224 posts)According to the media, the race is already over and Wendy should just concede.
I honestly don't think that many women in Texas actually THINK about what our gender will be losing if Greg Abbott gets his way.
Frankly, it scares me that Abbott doesn't scare them!

(54,436 posts)They just go and pull the "R" lever, and would do so if it were Torquemada himself running for governor.
You are 100% correct. They haven't had an individual thought in so long that either they are no longer capable of doing that, or else doing that is too painful for them.
I had to laugh at something that I just saw on Facebook. An old classmate of mine now lives in Austin and is very, very conservative. She was complaining about the "cost to the taxpayers" for painting the cross walks rainbow colors.
As if red and yellow paint cost more than gray and silver????
