https://www.dallasnews.com/opinion/...campaign=buffer DMN gives Beto their rec but it almost seems like an afterthought if you read the article. Like, this is the entirety of their argument it seems: quote:The pivotal issue before our country is public leadership, and here we believe O’Rourke’s tone aligns with what is required now. This inclusive and hopeful tone, along with O’Rourke’s approach of starting with shared principles and working toward solutions, offset any policy differences we have with him. Leadership is more than policy, and whether we are addressing the very real challenges before us now turns on our ability to find points of agreement. They then soften that recommendation a ton by giving Cruz credit for things that range from bad (tax cut) to half-hearted (ignoring gun control stuff in favor of other approaches). e: beaten on the news/link but analysis stands

zoux posted:https://twitter.com/davidmcswane/status/1055494317970731008 Wow they even got dinged by their Sunset review despite one of the reps in charge being openly hostile to applying any kind of oversight: "“It’s almost offensive to say, ‘What are the results?’” Sunset Advisory Commission member Rep. Dan Flynn, R-Canton, a member of the House Committee on Homeland Security and Public Safety, said during the May hearing. Border communities “are only safe because we’ve had a strong border presence. I would give anything that we didn’t have to spend the amount we have. I would hope we could evaluate the results being that we still have a pretty safe environment.”" What were the positions of the reps/senators from the actual border region to the expansion? I suspect they weren't fans and that it got slammed through by assholes hundreds of miles away like Flynn there.

Pancho Nevarez is the only one, he's fairly left for the House so I'd imagine he was pretty sore about it.

The DMN is very much the voice of the Dallas / Highland Park business establishment. Chamber of Commerce Republicans and the Texas Association of Business. Their ideal politico is Joe Straus so them beginning to endorse Democrats in select races is more of an indication that they think the Trumpy far right is starting to threaten the goose that lays the golden eggs.

Again, they endorsed Sadler v. Cruz in 2012, so I don't think the voters of north Texas were hanging on the DMNs editorial board to make a decision. The Houston Chronicle's endorsement of Beto after endorsing Cruz in 2012 is more significant, if one can say that editorial board endorsements are worth the paper they are printed on, which they probably aren't.

Transplanted here from Virginia a couple of months ago with my special lady as she starts her fellowship at Baylor Medical. Voted today at Fiesta, huge line from what I'm used to from when I lived in the sticks. I chatted with one of the volunteers and she said the line was much longer yesterday in the rain, so I don't have to kick myself for waiting until that passed at least. Then she called us all not dedicated voters for waiting for nicer weather hah! On an off topic note, anyone looking for a software developer to hire near TMC? I'm solidly anti-bags of wasps if that helps!

PostNouveau posted:*rubs hand on orb* Just put an onion in your socks when you sleep and it'll leech the toxins out of the campaign. Edit: Just checked and State posted yesterday's early vote totals. The numbers are not going down at all in Harris. Other big city counties had a dip, but still very good numbers. We are approaching 20% turnout in some of the metro periphery counties.

Why does the state only release these numbers for big counties? Surely people would like to know about the numbers elsewhere.

In other news Prarie View A&M won their lawsuit against scumbag Waller County so they are opening up polling times in the city...although it still looks like no location on campus. =/ https://www.texastribune.org/2018/10/25/waller-county-expands-early-voting-prairie-view-m-students/ quote:Two days after students at Prairie View A&M University sued Waller County over allegations that the county is suppressing the voting rights of black residents, the rural county said it is expanding early voting opportunities for students at the historically black university. If you want to know more about the history of Waller County and how their ongoing campaign to disenfranchise black Prairie View students, Maddow had a good recap the other night.

Just voted at jersey village city hall outside Houston. For the area the crowd was pretty diverse (so only half old white people) and the room was full but I didn’t see the line get past three people long. I’ve voted early there for the past few years and never seen more than one other person voting including 2016.

I can only imagine what day to day operations are like there based on that experience.

Did this on Tuesday with my wife and it was a lot of uptight business dudes mixed in with millennials (like myself) and a bunch of very old women voting with their millennial kids and grandkids. So who knows.
