(Brian's going to be arriving here in Austin at the end of the month. I met him at Yearly Kos in Chicago and have had the pleasure of working with him as a fellow state blogger. Maybe we'll have to have a special gay state bloggers caucus on March 4th. Either way, welcome back to Texas Brian (everyone's doing it!) - promoted by Karl-Thomas Musselman)
Hey folks, Brian Leubitz of Calitics.com here. A few months ago, Calitics endorsed Barack Obama for our Feb. 5 primary, saying this:
Some also say that he hasn't spoken of specifics enough; we suggest they look to BarackObama.com and review his positions. They are specific enough for us to oppose him on several issues: "clean" coal, marriage equality, and healthcare, just to name a few. He's not perfect. He's not offering Medicare for all, like every other non-Kucinich candidate, and he is unable to leap tall buildings in a single bound, either. But, he is a tremendous pioneer and agent of progressive change that can get elected this year. And that's a great step forward.
Well, Clinton carried California quite comfortably, but what can you do? Well, I've decided that I can, in fact, take a trip back to my (almost) native Texas. I would go back to Dallas where I grew up (Go Fighting 1806!), but I figure it'd be easier to find Democrats in Austin than where I grew up (Far North Dallas).
I'm very excited to come down to Austin to cover the Texas primaries for Calitics. If you see me around, say hi. Or you can email me: brian AT calitics DOT com
