TEXAS . . .
I must say that my opinion of Texas is changing a bit. I've had so much fun the past 2 weeks being an Obama poll-greeter with DeposeTheBoyKing (my sis!) and have met several really nice, really liberal, real good Democrats.
I can't tell you how many times we received *thumbs up* signals from people we would have SWORN were repugs - some are and can't stand another 4 years of this mess - they've (FINALLY) seen the light.

I'm keeping my fingers crossed that at least Dallas county will go BLUE!

YAHOOTIE.

1. Hey stranger!
:hug:

You've been missed, but I'm so glad you spent time in Texas with your sister. Dallas county going blue would make me happy too. I lived there a long time ago.

:)

2. We went blue two years ago. :)
42 out of 42 Democratic candidates on the ballot were elected in 2006, and the Democratic candidate for governor got the majority of the vote in the county. There is no doubt in my mind that Obama will take the county, and all of our countywide candidates will win. I have my concerns about some state house races, though, but I'm keeping my hopes up. :D

We were blue at one time in the not-so-distant past. It is Halloween; let's raise Ann Richards from the dead!

Glad to hear you got such positive responses :)

5. What?
You mean you didn't know how fucking AWESOME we are? How totally bad ass we are?

Texas liberals are the best kind, in my opinion. And no one in the world is more awesome than a redneck hippie (usually only found in Austin--it's an endangered species--good luck finding any real ones in Dallas).

Thanks, we love you too! :hi:

7. Hey . . . .
I usually feel as if I've entered *enemy* territory when I arrive in this area.

I really met some wonderful people - also had some not-so-good experiences from the whack-o jerkoffs as well.
