35. Governor or Lt Governor

She can’t stand Greg Abbott and I’d love to see her go toe to toe with him. They’re the ones that gerrymandered out her seat.

But yeah, getting into the Senate race at the very last moment was kind of a turnoff for me too. I like her but if she wins the Democratic primary it’s just going to be that much harder to win in November. Not impossible if Paxton is the nominee, but we’ll have to put up some massive new voter registration numbers, like bigger than Beto’s in 2018.

I’m not surprised that she is leading, I went to a local candidate meet and greet down here in S Texas last week and there were more people taking home Crockett yard signs than Talarico ones. Not by a huge margin but I was impressed with how many were getting snapped up. I think many Dems want a fighter right now and she’s about the biggest one in the state.
