Well, we can learn from this. In hindsight, did Kilgore even offer a tax cut? I don't recall hearing about one in all the radio ads I heard. When that other guy, er, name slips me [coffee!] promised to eliminate the car tax, he ran away with it.
I guess I have a lot to learn about polls. And, I guess an "r" next to someone's name isn't enough. They need to walk the walk. In hindsight, we've had "r"s in charge of the legislature for years, wasting money, raising taxes, etc. They've lost peoples' respect, I guess. Kilgore believes in a lot of issues I believe in. But without tax relief, without promises to cut spending [probably hard to do based on the GOP's history in this state], he didn't rally enough voters.
