Common Sense

Dear Team Courage,

I totally went without any narcotics yesterday. While that may be a triumph over my dependancy on them, it also meant that I didn’t get any sleep last night. It wasn’t for lack of trying; I had the lights out and I was trying to find a way to get comfotable so that I could […]

Apparently word is that John Sharp decided to forego a gubernatorial bid in order to run for John Cornyn’s Senate seat in 2008. According to Capitol Hill Insider:
The Democrats’ nominee - whoever that might be - in a 2008 U.S. Senate race would find themselves at a major funding disadvantage at the start of a […]

All the numbers aren’t in yet, but it seems like a very good night for Democrats. I was clearly conservative in my estimate of how many House seats the Dems would pick up. When I left Austin, Missouri’s Senate race seemed like a goner and now McCaskill has pulled it off. Thanks in large part […]

Some good friends have warned against making predictions since technically, Democrats haven’t won anything yet. Election day is still hours away and the momentum might be going to the Republicans.

I have been lax of late with the blogging, I know. I didn’t even wish you guys a Happy Halloween yesterday, even though many longtime readers know that is my favorite holiday. A holiday that’s all about watching cheesy horror movies and eating candy, how could I not like it better than Christmas?
A few updates […]

That’s really misleading, since I cannot possibly make real predictions. I’m a cripple, not a psychic.
But I can think out loud, as it were, about how I feel this election is shaping up now that early voting has started and the big day is only two weeks away.
First off, the gubernatorial race: Call me crazy, […]

After all the talk about the RNCC pulling its money out of the TX-17 race because Taylor looks like a lost cause, KCEN-TV is reporting that the DCCC is now pulling money from Edwards’ campaign.
It looks like the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee thinks that Chet Edwards has the District 17 seat in the bag.
Wednesday it […]

Here are a few new blogs that I know of.
The pro-tem mayor of Lockhart, Texas has a blog, as well as a guy in Glen Rose, the Somervell County Salon with some writings on the Edwards-Taylor race. Both are going in the blogroll, as well as the new blog at the Trib.
