b/c signs in Central Texas are far less than 4 years ago. K/E signs are |
|
flush in my town but we had to go to Austin to BUY them and provide them to those that wanted them (An AMAZING amount have gone out the door of our headquarters, considering our location.) In the countryside, many of the newly landed folks get the b/c signs provided by the repukes but the mainstream folk who want Kerry have no source for signs and many are too damn busy and oppressed to care. The little, baby bush boy will carry Texas but many are not in a trance any more.

I plan on framing my voting receipt after Kerry wins. I voted on the first day of early voting, at the Albertson's on the corner of Riverside and Pleasant Valley. It was about a 15-minute wait on that day, around dinnertime.

great candidates. Have you met Jan Patterson and Diane Henson? What wonderful, Dem, sound candidates they are. I am proud of the people we are running. Next time, I hope we have someone in every slot in every county!!! (I am in Lampasas, btw.)

2. It sounds like Bush's base vote is really depressed right now |

I sure hope we can translate this into Congressional victories.

3. Kerry is going to take Travis County this year |
|
It will flip from Red to Blue, and that will be because all the Nader voters are voting for Kerry this year, save for the biggest Kool-Aid drinkers. I have seen only Nader bumper sticker this year.
