TX Senate Race Getting CLOSE! (Non-Texans can help!)
I posted before about the Rasmussen poll a few days ago. Noriega is behind Cornyn (R-TX) by a mere seven points now. And Cornyn's terrible campaign is just begging to be defeated. These are exciting times to be a Texan!
Karl-Thomas Musselman just posted a good synopsis of the situation as it stands today, in terms of campaign finances, TV ads, and the fact that the pollster.com senate race map changed Texas's color from red to pink!
Help us stir the pot! Volunteer for the Noriega campaign! Make phone calls! (Surely they have ways of letting folks do this from home--I actually have no idea; I could be completely wrong.) Do whatever you can!

Funny, today I played the MSNBC electoral map game and I decided Texas would be blue...

Wow. Not that would be something! Colorado is looking good for Mark Udall right now, so we'll be able to at least add a vote there. Begich is also leading in Alaska, and I think my "homeland" voters will also flip that state.
Any chance Obama can cut down the margin there? If Texas looked like it was at risk, McCain would really be up a creek without a Palin.

It's still sort of a longshot for Obama here. Since early July, McCain's numbers have hovered between 48 and 50, while Obama's have been between 38 and 40 (according to RCP's somewhat rightward-skewed averages, anyway). Folks are canvassing neighborhoods out here for Obama, and there are plenty of Obama-Biden bumperstickers out here, but you can count on the Texas Republicans to turn out in strong numbers here. It will be interesting to look at the data after election day, though--surely it will be closer than 2004.
