MapChangers: Round 2

by: Karl-Thomas Musselman

Tue Jun 20, 2006 at 02:29 PM CDT

You can actually cast a Texas only slate in the Western column in round 2 of Mark Warners MapChangers contest (winner getting $5k from the Forward Together PAC) as there are 5 candidates. This was my ballot. I have to give major props to the Warner people, this tech stuff is awesome.

My MapChangers

WEST

TX-21 John Courage: Because Bush needs a brain, Cheney needs a heart, and Congress needs Courage!
MT-Sen Jon Tester: We need the Man from Big Sandy
NV-Sen Jack Carter: The world needs more Carters
TX-10 Ted Ankrum
TX-31 Mary Beth Harrell

EAST

RI-Sen Sheldon Whitehouse
VA-Sen James Webb

My MapChangers

WEST

TX-21 John Courage: Because Congress needs Courage.
TX-10 Ted Ankrum: Ted is taking on Freshman Waterboy Mike McCaul, and he's one of our Fighting Dems.
TX-Sen Barbara Radnofsky: Barbara's taking on Senator Kay Bailey Tantrum, and she's gaining ground. Send Kaybee back to the hairdryer she crawled out from under.
TX-31 Mary Beth Harrell: Mary Beth knows intimately the challenges facing our military families, with both sons on active duty.
TX-Gov Chris Bell: It's a wild 5-way race, so Chris needs every dime to win the Texas Governorship. Time for a Governor who has more to offer than macho posturing andthe judicious use of hair mousse.

EAST

IL-14 John Laesch: What can you say about another Fighting Dem who's not afraid to take on Mean Denny Hastert?
MI-09 Nancy Skinner: I heard Nancy on Majority Report from Ykos. She's a compelling candidate, and a real advocate for change in a district that desperately needs change.
NY-29 Eric Massa: We cannot spare this man. He fights.
PA-08 Patrick Murphy: Congratulations to Patrick and his lovely bride. I'm registering you for wedding gifts here.
VA-Sen James Webb: George Allen and his noose have no place in the United States Senate. Jim Webb is tough, decisive, and will make a Senator to do VA proud.

Er... (0.00 / 0)

Karl,

Answer me a question. My zip is 78705, which should be in Courage's district. Did no one go against him the primary? I don't recall voting for him (even though I have supported him since after the primary).

Uh... (0.00 / 0)

Trust me, I would have noticed if he was on my ballot.

He wasn't.

But I checked, and he's running in my district, as far as I can tell. Is this a voting error I should have caught at the time?
