I just got back from voting in the Texas Primary. What I saw was the place was packed. There were 50% lines for the Republican primary and 50% lines for the Dem Primary.
Guess what happened? Not a soul on the Dem Primary line. Not a soul!
And this is a traditionally Blue Dog Dem county.
Yep, same here. I hope I did Texas good. :D
My county is so red, half the Rs down ballot run unopposed, the other half the dem has zero chance.
Neutral or positive for oblablaloon... they aren’t angry enough to go vote for nobody or other against him.
No protest votes.
All the Dewhurst attack ads really turned me off to him. I'm for Cruz.
This county is turning red because of folks like me.
I vote.
Same here.
According to dewhurst, you’d think Cruz was selling nuclear secrets to the chinese
He worked at a law firm that employed 1200 people who took a case fora chinese business.
Horror of horrors!
“Must have been a new voter if he didn’t know you have to declare party in the primary. Lots of brand new residents here.”
Not true. In early voting, all parties vote in the same locations. Where we voted, there was one line, no matter the party. You had to tell the poll worker “Republican” or “Democrat” so that you would be given access to the proper ballot on the voting machine.
Let’s hope the people you saw in the republican line were ... uh....republicans.
And I hope Texans are smart enough to not vote for the democrat in republican clothing aka RINO Romney.
If they vote Paul, at least we have a shot at a brokered convention where all the delegates are up for grabs and real conservatives can vy for the nomination.
Open primaries basically mean each party can mess with the other.
Democrats will vote for the “biggest RINO”.
They’d already voted and were being bussed to another polling station to vote again?
I voted paul just to poke Romney in the eye.
The democrats only run the buses on election day.
Tragically no Conservative on the presidential ballot. Texans got screwed on that one.
Yes we did.
26 million of us voiceless in the presidential campaign again.
I saw the same effect at my polling place during the 2010 midterm election. The line went out the door and around the building, but once I got inside, I saw that no one seemed to be voting on the Dem side of the room.
The Dem poll workers looked woebegone and sad, like they just needed a friend.
I almost felt bad for them. Almost .. LOL
Don't they have a down ticket to vote on?
Make that 4, this coming Tuesday.
