The Burnt Orange Political Report (BOPR) is a report on all the competitive races in the state of Texas -- from the top of the ticket through State House races. There are two fundamental purposes for this report:
Collection of Research & News for the Top Races in Texas
The pages linked below contain important data and information for dozens of contested House races. We know that Google is often the first place many will go to learn more about the race -- but why not start here, where we've collected our best stories over the past few months and will be constantly updating the fast-paced news as it happens throughout the month of October.
Provide Accurate Predictions for the Most Competitive Races in Texas
At least twice a week, we will write a comprehensive post with "predictions" for how the races are likely to end up --- based on news, shared information, fundraising totals, poll numbers, etc. We also hope to generate on-the-ground, user-based feedback so we have a clear picture of what's really happening in the race.
Permanent links to the Burnt Orange Political Report will be placed in a box in the top-right corner in the page, so you can come back and find any information you may need. Here are links to the candidate/race pages we've created:
Federal Races - U.S. Senate & Congressional Races to Watch
We hope this report will be an asset to you over the next month, as a barrage of news stories and races becomes hard to handle. We recommend checking back frequently, to help keep track of the best news and analysis you're going to get on the web.
And, as always, we count on you to tell us what we're missing and what we've messed up. Leave comments on posts and help us make this tool a success for our entire community.
