Quick Boehner, bring in millions of illegals and let them vote!
“Quick Boehner, bring in millions of illegals and let them vote!”
You didn’t finish...
You need to add: “...it’s our only chance to win!”
Yep. Abortion Barbie’s goose is cooked.
This leftist poll is a joke. The Texas Trib/UT rag is at least 10 points off.
It is not a news site.
Pure crap
Good news. Especially about Van de Puke. Maybe she’ll go hide in New Mexico again to avoid losing the election.
A 12-point lead is not much; Abbott seems to be running a really poor campaign thus far.
Amen. Thank you BobL. Made my night.
Sweet dreams.
Abbott will win by 20%.
“A 12-point lead is not much; Abbott seems to be running a really poor campaign thus far.”
He’s doing ok, from what I can tell. It’s still early and there’s a lot of undecideds. Texas is a lot closer to 60/40 (if that) than 70/30, due to our large minority sector. The key is holding the 60, and I think he’s doing that. The only one that could really beat that number was Kay (usually about 70%), but then you also got Kay.
Just last weekend Abbott had an excellent change to demand Amnesty for “the children” (the ones invading from the South), as Cantor, Paul, and a number of other Republicans did. Instead he sounded a lot more like Dan Patrick on the issue - and certainly a lot less like Perry.
He’s doing good.
You’re welcome.

Then we’re doing EVEN BETTER. I can’t think of a tactical reason to show the Republicans as doing better, as it will kill their fund raising.
PPP which is a democratic push poll had Abbott up 14% in April. This election won't even be close.
Yea, I stumbled on it via a link in a different story, on a different topic. It was seriously under-reported.
Glad this so called star has flamed out. She needs to move to MA where her views are more accepted.
