Put info and links about Texas here.
I used to be in Stenholm's district when we lived NW of FTW. Now live in LBB and voted early at the Mall Saturday before last a straight Republican ticket. Old Charlie has been in Congress for over twenty years but I think he is about to retire. He will have to change to the Republican Party to get elected (if ever) again. I like Naugebauer's conservative politics...
I suspect a lot of the voters in line did as my wife and I did. Using one of the new computerized voting machines, we clicked on the straight-ticket button (Republican, of course), which left only three propositions that we had to decide on (NO on 1, Yes on 2 and 3 :). So, we were in and out of our booths in less than five minutes.
If you haven't voted yet, better get out there. The lines most likely will move faster than you might think.
You gotta let folks know though, that "cold" here means "high 50's"!
North Padre Island (Corpus Christi area) about 9:00 this morning. Upbeat, happy, smiling folks!
Rainy, windy and a little cooler.
It feels GREAT today!
Any commentary on Frost and how he is doing? I'm hoping he loses big.
cold = any day under 75 degrees.
bunny in houston.
Arelene Wolgemuth was on the stage at SMU last night with the President and he called her by name. I was in the seventeenth district yesterday. Lots of B/C signs with her name below. Some Chet Edwards signs with no mention of K/E.
The county I'm in [in the heart of Texas conservative country] had 1/3 of the registered voters show up for early voting. They're expecting at least that many to show up today-- a record, all told. Bush will win big here just as he did in 2000.
i voted Woot
GO KERRY!!!
j/k :) bush 4tw
LOL...sorry meant to say its kicking a little below 60...thats cold for us Texans.
Very rainy and wet in SE Texas. Luckily we all voted (Republican family) 2 weeks ago.
Voted around 10:30 this morning in a suburb of Dallas - no line at all. I hope that means that people are voting after work or voted early. One of the guys working there was an idiot and loud on top of it - but all in all it went smooth. Some guy standing outside handing out Democrat literature. I took it just so he'd have one less to give out to someone else. I noticed others just sticking it in their pocket and walking on. This is solid Bush country here.
Heck, yeah it's cold! I made the mistake of wearing sandals - Iguess it's time to pull out closed toe shoes finally. Sigh.
Check reply #50 on this thread. Troll??????
Went to the polls in West Houston at 7:00am - the whole process took about 30 minutes. The line was longer when we left. I was so excited and had my "W 2004" cap on.
Most of the signs in our neighborhood are Bush/Cheney, but there have been 3 "Vote Bush Out" signs in 3 yards around here for about 2 months. I am so sick of looking at them, and pray tomorrow morning they will be gone for good!
Riddle: What rhymes with "Frost"....
"LOST" hehehehehe
Bush win in the "People's Republic of Austin"?
A nice dream, but not likely.....too many commies :)
My very Republican area of Northwest Corpus Christi had 390 voters by 9AM when I voted. There are Bush signs all over the neighborhoods and Bush Bumpers stickers on cars. And consdiering this a traditional Rat hole you hardly see any Kerry stickers or signs around the whole city. Bush did carry this county last election as well as his 1994 and 1998 runs for Gov.
