ePrimary Poll Closes Friday!


by: Texas Democratic Party

Thu Sep 06, 2007 at 05:52 PM CDT


(Seriously, go vote! - promoted by Matt Glazer)

I am proud to report that the Texas Democratic Party's ePrimary Poll has been a huge success. Because of your help spreading the word to our fellow Democrats, in just five short days, over 7,200 Texas Democrats have cast their vote for President!

That's over five times the number of Texas Republicans who cast their vote in last weekend's exclusive Straw Poll.  And we're not done yet!  With one more day left to vote, all Texas Democrats still have a chance to make their voices heard in the next presidential election.

The enormous participation in the TDP ePrimary Poll is evidence of a Democratic Party on the rise in the Lone Star State.  While Texas Republicans had only third-string candidates and embarrassingly low turnout at their VIP-only Straw Poll last weekend, Democrats from every corner of the state are energized by our Party's strong field of presidential candidates and showing their excitement for 2008 in the ePrimary Poll.

Democrats believe our state and nation are better served when more people participate, and the ePrimary Poll is a way for all Texas Democrats to get involved in the primary process and weigh in as our Party selects a presidential nominee. Tell the country which Democrats you want to see take over the White House!

If you haven't voted in the ePrimary Poll, there's still time. Texas Democrats have until TOMORROW at 11:59pm to cast their vote for any one of our Democratic presidential candidates.

Cast your vote for President today!

In 2006, voters sent a message that they are tired of Republican corruption and fed up with the Bush Administration's failed policies.  But unlike Republicans, our Democratic presidential candidates are offering new ideas and a new vision for America.  Our candidates are the kind of leaders who can rally Democrats across the country and bring change to the White House.

While Democrats strive to be a Party of hope, Republicans have shown they are a party of hate.  At their flop of a Straw Poll, a select group of Republican extremists chose a third-string candidate whose platform is based on hateful rhetoric. Texas Republicans have once again demonstrated their hostility towards mainstream voters and promoted candidates who seek to divide our state and nation.

Together, we can put a stop to Republican policies that serve their narrow special interests. Vote Now!

And in case you're still deciding which of our potential nominees to support, I encourage you to take a few minutes and check out the TDP website to learn more about each candidate and read their personal message to Texas Democrats, as well as testimonials from their supporters in the Lone Star State.

If you've already cast your ballot and want to see how your favorite Democratic presidential candidate is doing so far, check the TDP website for the latest ePrimary Poll results. Daily updates are posted NOW!

And don't forget to tune in Monday, September 10th when we announce the ePrimary Poll winner.

The ePrimary Poll is a chance for ALL Texas Democrats to speak out, show the strength of our party and have a real voice in the presidential nomination process. You have until TOMORROW to cast your ballot; click here to vote if you haven't already, and if you've already voted, click here to invite your friends.

Your friend and fellow Democrat,

Boyd L. Richie
Texas Democratic Party Chair

A disconnected media follows Republican primaries & polls - - (5.00 / 1)
It's amazing to me the emphasis that the disconnected media has placed on some Republican polls in other states.

The real polls show Gore & Lieberman won the City of Dallas with a margin of 31,427 votes, and that Kerry & Edwards won the City of Dallas with a margin of 53,902 votes.  Those are real votes in real November, General Elections.  Not primaries, and not straw polls.

I have this documented on my web page at:

I like real vote counts, too. ;)

I love this quote on your Web page:

If I were running against George Bush, there might not be enough Secret Service guys to protect his jaw.

  - Bob Slagle (CBS Evening News, November, 1988)

...and your post on BOR (about Ann Richards and other great Texas Democrats) from September '06 that I missed.

Thank you very much. :)
