Thank you Texas Democrats

[Robbien]

I just heard you voted down that Texas Rep. Wilson who sided with the Repubs in their nasty redistricting plan. Ha! And Wilson thought he was safe since he had that seat for the last thirty years.

The new Democratic Rep. Allen is running unopposed in the November GE, so that will be a safe seat.

Goodbye Wilson, next time remember to dance with the team that brought you to the dance.

1. Thanks for the good news!

2. Is this state house or US Congress?

5. State house

He was one of two house Dems that did not stand up against redistricting. Actually, he said it was a great thing for Texas. He was also the only minority supporter at the Texas trail to support the plan.

3. It is a very happy day here

US Rep Doggett also won. I just worry that this will cause DeLay and crew to try to redistrict again, because they really want to get rid of Doggett.

12. Our job

So our job is to work even harder to elect dems to the state
legislature this fall.

With only ten or eleven more dems, we could get a lot done.

With more wins, we could even do our own redistricting!

4. Send him to Vincente Fox! (nt)

7. State Senator "Quitmire" better be next!

I'm guessing he hopes voters forget when he's up for re-election...I'm guessing we won't.

8. Whenever I think I have it bad

living in an ultra-conservative part of CA, I think of the Texas democrats and stop whining. Here's to you :toast:

9. Questions

Does anyone know why several incumbent Dem's in the valley (Texas) lost races.

also Glenn Lewis in Tarrant County (Texas)lost because he supported re-re-districting

[GOPisEvil]

11. Jaime Capelo lost because of allegations surrounding a donation.

I think...I don't know about any others offhand.

10. Thank ya'll very much.

Wish I could have done more, but I was happy to go to my first precinct caucus.

Keep sending money and support to Richard Morrison and we won't have to worry about DeLay either!

Morrison won his primary, and has been endorsed by the Houston Chronicle. He also has the support of tons of Dean and Clark supporters from all over the place (not just Texas).
