My misadventures in Texas - to win the House back for the Democrats....

Hot Damn, It's HOT!

Imagine doing poll visibility when it's 95 degrees outside.... That's what I did today! Texas has a fabulous concept called early voting. Early voting began today and goes until the day before the election. There is one early voting location per precinct. Myself, D and a D-Trip guy headed for a poll and hung out all day long. We received alot of support, but there were quite a few naysayers with stucks stuck really far up their..... One NRA guy rolled his window down and said "I voted straight ticket Republican." To that I replied "I'm glad to completed your civic duty. Now you'll be able to complain when the Republicans screw up the country." He drove off in a huff. Texas politics are super dirty, FYI. There was an ad last night against Rep. Chet Edwards. They claimed that Chet Edwards wants to take "miners" (yes, that's how they spelled it!!!) across state borders to get abortions without parental consent and he is pro-partial birth abortions because he didn't sign the band! And in order to win, our candidate has to allie himself with Bush (can't remember if I mentioned that earlier in the blog). The days are long, the sleep is short. I'm living off diet coke, coffee, random food and random bouts of alcohol fun with the dems (wow, we sure know how to PARTAY). The people are great. I wrote the first blog after being very tired. The people are really fantastic - I'm sure I'm came across like a crazy woman the first day. We are off to see "Team America" tonight... should be interesting to see puppet sex!
