I have a feeling the GOP will do much better than the MSM can imagine.

I'm voting all Rs the hell with them.

"will vote for Kinky to be contrary - but will vote straight R otherwise."
It is a good thing that we ran this clown. He is cutting into the Bell and Strayhorn base. At any rate, his salsa is pretty good. We will be serving it at the re-election party for Governor Perry!

Next week, expect news articles about the abortions increasing under GOP Presidents and decreasing under Clinton as a subtle way of telling religious conservatives to vote RAT.
It is obvious, isn't it?
28% Republicans, 35% Democrats, 33% 'Independents' (i.e., Democrats)... Skewed, biased. The media overdrive to suppress the GOP vote would be comical if it were not so pathetic.
Vote early! Vote absentee! Vote Nov. 7!
