I have said it before but I am saying it again...

If there is one thing that will carry Rick to victory it is not Kay's votes or her stance on abortion... it is the Texas economy being relatively resilient. Another headline came out today backing up his claims on the Texas economy (link). Excerpt follows...

Analyst: Texas economy will be first to recover

DALLAS — Texas will be “last in, first out” among states battling the recession, although a recovery that has already started will require patience, a leading economist says.

Whether that strength in Texas had much to do with Rick or not does not matter... Rick benefits from headlines like these.

Hey now, campaign characters. Be nice. I know a lot of you on both sides, so I don't want any overly foul language, personal attacks on anyone other than the candidates themselves, or other party fouls. I will moderate the heck out of you if you start breaking the bounds of civility.
