The Texas Democratic Party is aggressively working to capitalize on the momentum of this historic campaign.
The TDP has sent 2.7 million pieces of mail asking voters to vote early and vote straight Democratic. Additionally, during early voting and on Election Day, the TDP will make 1.8 million phone calls throughout Texas, including 2 rounds of live calls and 4 rounds of robo-calls from prominent Democrats encouraging voters to cast a Straight Democratic Ticket.
That's an incredible push from the TDP. A push that is only possible when the state party is infused with $3.5 million late dollars.
The most exciting part of the TDP push is the new campaign to make the Texas Supreme Court fair and balanced. The TDP has launched a new website www.FairAndBalanced.com along with a brand new TV spot advocating Jim Jordan, Linda Yanez, and Sam Houston for the Texas Supreme Court.
In a surge election this ad, these field actions, and a focused effort on our statewides will make difference.
It would have been nice to see in 2006, but it the resources weren't there. In 2008, resources are there and the climate favors Democrats, but who and how people are voting is far from certain. It is time for Democrats to be opportunistic and push to win back judicial seats and local races as well as statewide races. It is good to see the TDP put a full court press on the Republicans.
