"can't believe the current results"

I can't either. But then I've been debating some pretty serious Liberal Kool Aid drinkers on the local forum back there. They are 100% dyed in the wool DUmmies. Never thought I'd find people like THAT in my hometown.

Nah Midland is pretty conservative. Real conservative. All the corporate execs live in Midland all the roughnecks in Odessa.

Both are not the places you'd expect to become the next hotbed of Liberalism.

Of the last three Dems who ran for govenor ONE came out to Midland/Odessa to campaign. Tony Gonzalez.

Ma Richards and Mark White both seemed to think West Texas ment Laredo.

I agree but I don't have the Texas ping lists. If you know anybody that does can you let them know?

How many times can you vote? Either I voted 6 times or others were voting when I did. It's to 1100 votes now and the gap is closing.

Some people are so ignorant about the history of this Country. What did they do? FAIL 10th Grade US History?

Statistical Fact: 50% of all H.S. seniors graduated in the bottom half of their class.....and then there are those who didn't get that far!
