Thanks. Tip was right!!! I'm old enough to remember him.

I know there's been an awful lot of interest in Texas because there is such hope that it will turn. But I have been cracking up at certain posts (or posters!!!) who seem to want to take the subject matter into a specific direction. Look at their profiles, and guess what? Not anywhere near the action! Things definitely work in their own way around here. Many of us who have lived the cycles for several times start to see a pattern when one candidate is outperforming another. I'm seeing one now.

We are lucky to have both Crockett and Talarico representing Texas, but Talarico is the best choice for this moment in time. Republicans are scared shitless of him. They are not afraid of Crockett.
