| Yesterday the Gubernatorial campaigns held the last Sunday rallies in the race to Tuesday. The Statesman reported...
Former U.S. Rep. Bell held a rally at Nuevo Leon restaurant in East Austin, drawing about 30 people and state Sen. Gonzalo Barrientos of Austin, who endorsed Bell. Bell said he is concerned with the quality of public education.
Gammage, a former Texas Supreme Court justice, drew several hundred people to an El Paso rally, spokesman Jeremy Warren said. Gammage described himself as a fighter willing to stand up to corrupt Republicans in Washington, Warren said.
I will say only this, that for gaining both Austin newspapers endorsements as well as our State Senator it does not appear that it has translated into an appreciable amount of grassroots support or physical bodies for Team Bell in Austin, where every local grassroots group that has endorsed, has endorsed Bob Gammage.
Speaking of that, Gammage will be here at UT tonight at 7:30 pm (in just a few hours) at the Littlefield Fountain in front of the Tower for a Student led "working rally" as we prepare to head out getting up signs at polling locations. You are all invited of course, and we heard the Statesman and other outlets will be there.
Judge Gammage was endorsed by University Democrats last month. Since the endorsement, the group has worked tirelessly to make the difference that pushes Gammage over the top. In addition to phonebanking and extensive get-out-the-vote efforts, the University Democrats have distributed thousands of doorhangers to central Austin homes with the Austin Progressive Coalition.
"Judge Gammage has the experience necessary to be a viable candidate for Governor in November. Texans are disappointed with the current administration; with Bob Gammage as our nominee, Democrats will stand the best chance of winning the highest office in the state since Ann Richards," said Sukanya Misra, Public Relations Director for University Democrats.
