I don't know why she's running as a Dem.

(38,015 posts)I just remember solid Democratic policies from a level-headed, effective speaker. Plus he's refused to take any PAC money.
He's been to several West Texas districts at least three times since he began running. That's extraordinary because normally the Democratic party blows off my part of the state as a lost cause.
