Texas In Play

Candidate for Senator, Rick Noriega, will be traveling to Las Vegas to meet national Democratic Party donors this week. Now that millionaire Mikal Watts has dropped out of the race, Noriega is getting some attention from major donors. That's because people are starting to say, "Texas is in play."

I don't know about you, but sweeter words were never heard. Say it with me, "Texas is in play." Doesn't it fill you with a giddiness? That's not because I don't like Republicans and want Democrats to win every race. It's because I believe in a two-party system. I believe in debate and I despise one-party rule. I think it ruins America. We can see what one-party rule has done to Texas. This state has gone from being great to being mediocre. I don't care for mediocrity. I like to be number one. How about you?

You don't get to be number one by status quo, or challenge to one narrow school of thought. Laser focus and dogged ideology are not what make America great.

While I agree with you that one party rule is destructive, look at how badly the "Republican" party managed to cock up their time in power, Texas is not in play. I know it's fun to say that but it ain't so.
