It’ll take us a week to recover and digest all the information!

If Texas Republicans think that Democrats are sitting back on our polls and already celebrating a sure victory, they are oh so wrong. Oh so.
It started in Halletsville, Texas, on Saturday with a meeting for the SD18 Democrats. The Senior Citizen Center was packed, and there were even some senior citizens there!

The picture on the left is Martin Siegel, candidate for the Texas 14th Court of Appeals, speaking to the crowd as Leslie Taylor, candidate for the 1st Court of Appeals looks on.

It seems that a lot of people have been coming to the Fort Bend Democrats website looking for the location of the Texas Barack Obama campaign headquarters. According to the BarackObama.com website, there are two Texas offices. One in Austin, and one just up the Southwest freeway in Houston:

Houston Obama Headquarters
3710 Travis St.
Houston, TX 77002

We’re hearing from lotsa folks who want a guest pass to watch the Texas Democratic State Convention in Austin. Since this will be the largest State Democratic Convention in the history of Texas - eat your heart out, Sam Houston - guest passes are harder to come by than Fredericksburg peaches in February.
However, there is some good news.
The State Democratic Party has set up a random drawing for guest passes.

Today I was delighted to hear from the Rick Noriega campaign that "Yet another poll shows Rick Noriega just 4 points behind John Cornyn in the race for U.S. Senate." According to Rasmussen Reports, Noriega was closing in with 43% to Cornyn’s 47%.(1) Today, the Research 2000 poll shows Noriega with 44% while Cornyn is at 48%. Rasmussen notes, "Any incumbent who polls below 50% is considered potentially vulnerable. That is especially true when a little known challenger is so competitive in an early general election match-up."
