The Democrats are trying to up the percentage in Hispanic/Black turnout to around 35% thus lowering the numbers Kirk will need from the Anglos? I think the numbers normally run around 27% for the Hispanic/Black (15/12) turnout... I read an article that stated if the historical trend is what happens then Kirk needs about 35% in the Anglo vote. That will be hard to accomplish, IMO.
Yes, Deport, the black base is fired up. A Republican woman from Killeen called C-SPAN's "Washington Journal" Friday morning. She said that Demos in TX have a plan to bring out all the dispossessed to the polls. Each of the dispossesed will be called twice on election day and reminded to vote. On the third call, if the dispossessed person has not voted, a Demo van will immediately come to the residence and carry the dispossessed individual(s) to the polls. They are being told that they must vote Democrat one more time to preserve their lifelines. I expect a minority turnout increase of well over 500,000 through this effort, being largely funded by the pockets of Democrat gubernatorial nominee Tony Sanchez of Laredo. It was this kind of active Demo strategy that led to the Democrat sweep in TX in 1982, and the reelection defeat of ascerbic Governor "Bill" Clements to the Democrat Mark White. Please tell me that the Republicans have a get-out-the-vote strategy. I bet that they don't because most Republicans would feel insulted if someone called them and offered them transportation to the polls. Republicans feel it is THEIR responsibility to get to the polls, not the mission of some corrupt political machine.
