This observation by UT government professor and pollster Daron Shaw pretty much sums up the state of the race: “Anecdotally, off the top of your head, if a Democrat runs against a Republican in the state of Texas, what’s the spread? Twelve points. This looks pretty much like a statewide election in Texas looks. It doesn’t look like some huge Republican tide, but it doesn’t look like a Democratic renaissance, either.”
Twelve points! That is a huge spread. Mike Baselice has generally put the Republican advantage at 9, which is what the poll reflects. The Democrats are in for some dark days.
Texas Democrats are pretty cocksure that they will take over the state in the next few election cycles... and over the next couple of decades at the worst... Obama may have set them back by a few election cycles...
It's funny to read some of the comments on the Burka blog... there are not as many "but the election is so far away, White can do something with all the time left" crap that liberals try to spew to make it seem they have a slight chance in beating Perry. Please! Save it liberals, you're not going to win this one. Taking more and more cheap shots at Perry is not helping you either, so you can drop it. It's amazing the fantasy world they live in...
