Governor MoFo don't know much (0.00 / 0)

but he does know political chicanery, and he can read a calendar.

We need another candidate, because I'm strong with Hocberg here:  this election is going to be on November 4, and we can't risk Scott's seat in the House.

I hate to agree on this (0.00 / 0)

because I think Scott would be a shoe-in, in a special election OR in November, but Scott is just too much of a jewel, to take any gamble at all.   A legislator like Scott doesn't happen that often and we need to keep him, in Austin.  

Wherever he is, he'll continue to make us proud and very fortunate to have him.

What is the partisan breakdown of the district? (0.00 / 0)

If we can hold it in Novemeber I say it's worth the risk.

Its a tough race (0.00 / 0)

I believe the best Democratic performance in 2006 was Bill Moody who received 46%.

Tough but certainly winnable.

I meant the House seat (0.00 / 0)

If we can keep it I say go for the Senate seat.
