Reply #1: whatever it is, it is making people come OUT TO VOTE!!! [View All]

friends, I remind you of Prairie View A & M....and I hear scuttlebutt from friends who are around young people who have never bothered to register and are now kicking themselves because they can't go vote for H or O

anyway I look forward to maybe having to stand in line on election day. (I seldom early vote, I LIKE my paper scanner ballot too much, and it 's sort of fun to be there on the DAY)

either one of these fine candidates will work hard for us every day.
Either one of them will be a vast improvement over anything else out there

I don't know when the choices have been so excellent no matter which way it goes. Two very smart, articulate, caring people left after a field of what was it eight at the beginning?.... equally smart articulate caring individuals...a real embarrassment of riches.

I think what we see here is some excitement over our primary actually counting for something at the national level, combined with interest generated by the first major woman candidate and the first major African American candidate squaring off against one another, combined with Obama's ability to captivate the young voters..people who haven't bothered to vote in years are now voting. And of course the general dismay with the last 8 years, particularly the last 2 years.

and of course the R's who are voting in our primary to swing the vote one way or another which is perfectly legal in our primaries.

I am also pleased with what this kind of turnout can do for the down ticket elections.

Tarrant Co has actual opposition to many R offices where the incumbents have run unopposed in the general election for YEARS. Excitement, we has it.
