Democrats hope Texas voters choose politics over football game
For much of Right-Thinking America (defined as those who accept college football as a deity), attention on Monday night starting at 7 p.m. Austin time will be firmly fixed on Atlanta’s Mercedes-Benz Stadium where the hated University of Alabama Crimson Tide, led by the hated Nick Saban, will take on the beloved University of Georgia Bulldogs for the college gridiron national championship.
(Some of you might think that sounded a bit biased. Let me assure you that it was. My son’s a UGA grad. Go Dawgs!)
So that’s where much of the nation’s focus will be. Except maybe for Texas Democrats, bless their somebody-get-them-a-calendar hearts.
Their attention might be trained on 1 Love St. in San Angelo. That’s where the San Angelo Museum of Fine Arts is located. One of the current exhibits is called, “I Once Was Here: Ghosts and Memories.”
The unkind among you might think that’s an appropriate exhibit for Texas Democrats. But that’s not the reason their attention will be on the art museum. The real reason is the museum is the venue for a Democratic gubernatorial candidate forum, starting at 7 p.m. and hosted by the Tom Green County Democratic Party, in which eight of the 10 contenders are expected to participate. This is always subject to change.
