I'm starting to feel that campaign fight again.... ...Maybe I'm just already in a 2010 war mode from the Texas Democratic Party's "Top 10 Rick Perry Failures" and their "Who is the Real KBH?" campaigns... ...Maybe it was seeing all the work and effort from the Gilbert campaign this week, including their highly successful transportation rollout... ...Maybe it was seeing Leo Vasquez, Ed Johnson, and Co. suffer another brutal blow to their voter suppression efforts in Harris County -- then getting to see Vasquez puff up his chest and act like he didn't just get smacked down, so that he can try and look macho in front of the extreme right-wing of the corrupt Harris County Republican Party... ...Maybe it is that we're actually about to have health care bills on the floors of Congress... ...Maybe it is reading about KT's enthusiasm for his work in Kalamazoo right now... ...Maybe it's just that I voted today...
...and maybe it's just that today is my fourth month back home in Texas; UT football is going into November undefeated, the NBA is back (!), and this time last year I was freezing in New England, as opposed to enjoying 70-degree weather here at home. Whatever the reason, I'm feeling good...and I'm starting to feel that campaign fight again. I know it's a year away, and there are a lot of unanswered questions -- both nationally and here in Texas -- and with so much uncertainty, it can become easy to kind of drift, and get frustrated, and lack a sense of purpose. But one year out, I'm feeling that fight again. And reading the TDP smash the new Republican Party of Texas Chair Cathie Adams like this -- On issue after issue, Cathie Adams is either uninformed or intentionally spreading the same garbage one expects from Rush Limbaugh, another sign that failed one party Republican rule has nothing better to offer Texans.
-- after having read what RPT Chair Cathie Adams had to say -- On Former Governor Ann Richards: - "She's an anti-religious bigot. How can people think she is Texas-down-home Ma Richards? I feel very insulted that she is representing me as a Texas woman. Most Texas women are ladylike and God-fearing. Ann Richards has none of those qualities."

On President Obama’s Address, urging schoolchildren to work hard and stay in school:
-- yeah. I'm ready for 2010. Read the full TDP e-mail -- sent out by Texas Democratic Party Communications Director Kirsten Gray -- below the jump:
