Election Day

Be sure to get out and vote if you haven't already. It's an important election, and it's vital that our voice be heard.

I got out early this morning here in Texas, where we're having a rainy day. I don't expect that this will be a very happy day for Democrats here. This is a Republican election year, and this is a Republican state. On top of that, Wendy Davis' gubernatorial campaign, which began with such promise, just never caught on. She lost valuable time early on after her father died and she had back surgery, and she just never generated any momentum.

I think the GOP's win streak here will end at some point in the not too distant future, but it's more likely to be in a presidential year, when Democratic turnout is better.

This year, Republican voters are MAD and motivated. (Although, to be honest, I don't really get why.)

Control of the Senate is the big prize this year, but even though Republicans are slightly favored to get it, not much is likely to change in Washington.
