It's Molly Beth Malcolm, and she calls herself a "former Republican," meaning she must have voted in some TX Republican primaries in the past. Your optimism, 1L, is nearly as great as that of the Democrats statewide this year. It's Republicans who are ignoring their base; the Democrats have their troops fired up, it seems to me. The Democrats in TX are tired of losing, and they intend to reverse their previous defeats -- by any means possible. If GOP prospects were as bright as you say, then the Democrats would be gloomy, instead of jubilant at their chances in November.

Please read my message about your doom and gloom attitude. You can sit around in your self pity if you want to, but I refuse to. You haven't shown anything you said to be true, only unsupported speculation based on how YOU think the RATs are doing. Explain to me how the Democrats are going to reverse all statewide trends and win this year, just by having their "base" energized. While you are at it, provide proof that the base is indeed energized. It sure didn't show during the primary season, otherwise Victor Morales wouldn't have won the plurality he won in the Senate and a no name with a fairly serious ethical problem wouldn't have won the Gov. primary.

I don't know where you get your stuff, but you need to provide sources before I will accept anything. The only thing I can figure is that you simply want to have a bad attitude and are going through with it.
