Active but not very active--I work full time. I wish I had more time. The problem with the governor race is that Mr. Sanchez has lots of millions to spend and he is doing it. Many ads, signs, radio spots. Perry is not as wealthy . I am worried about him b/c he got the doctors all bent out of shape b/c of his veto of the HMO fast payment bill.

Quite frankly I don't quite undserstand why he vetoed it but today I went to a conference and one of the docs in his speech said when talking about HMO that he would not even mention what Perry did to the docs. The TMA has put their support to Perry.

My aunt says she will vote for Mr. Sanchez (democrat) only b/c he pays her a lot of money to do his genealogy. I can't figure her out--she is an out and out republican but b/c of a business deal she feels she needs to vote for him. I am still working on her.

Keep working on her. Tell her that if the democrats win the race, her taxes WILL GO UP. Tell her that Clinton was barely in the White House before he raised the taxes more than any preceding president.

My local paper hasn't been especially informative about the Governor's race, but I was under the impression Perry is still far, far ahead of Sanchez in the polls. Has that changed? Naturally, I want Texas to re-elect Perry, but am far more concerned about the Senate race. We can't afford to give the Dems Gramm's seat.

Well, she doesn't have to tell him how she voted.

I know it is awkward with someone you work for, but you can just say something generic like, "Of course, I voted for the best man."

Not all of the doctors were upset with Gov. Perry. There have been quite a few letters in the Express News from Doctors who support him. I got the impression that the ones who are angry with him are the admin types, not the practicing doctors. And you are right, we have to do all we can to get him re-elected and get John Cornyn into Phil Gramm's seat.
