I have a question for Texas FReepers.
I’ve been reading various posts about the Texas election (early voting and voting day on Mar 4). This article and others say Cornyn and Stockman. From what I’ve been reading, Stovall is very popular among TX FReepers. Do you know why at least some of these articles only mention Stockman and not Stovall? I’m just curious.
Thanks in advance.
Cornyn has all the money, Stockman is lobbing all the verbal grenades. The MSM can't/won't cover anything else.
Meanwhile, Stovall has the endorsement of Texas Tea Parties, and there are other worthy candidates out there.
Because the media hates you, and lies.

BTW, I’m a Zag alum, one of about 50 in Dallas/Fort Worth.
Texas requires a huge amount of money to run a media campaign statewide. IMO,
most of the candidates don't have that money and thus have to rely on personal
appearances, word of mouth, etc. Of all the candidates opposing Cornyn,
Stockman is the most recognizable because of his election to Congress twice.
However I doubt he has much recognition outside of Southeast TX.
Polls have been almost non existent for this race. I'm sure some may have
been conducted by candidates but not released to the public. Here is
one that was done Feb. 7 - 14 and is the latest I'm aware of.

Stovall got my early vote. But either he or Stockman would be better than our current senior Senator.
Stockman is polling closer to Cornyn than Stovall is.
