This afternoon, after getting Mazie from piano in the ridiculous rain, I decided to take a look at Daily Kos. Didn’t expect anything new–what ad’s on in Tennessee today, how things are going in Missouri, more on their Taxi Driver-esque approach to the Connecticut senate race. No reason to find this:
TX-Gov: Surprisingly, Bell can win this thing
When I started reading, there were 257 comments. I read all of them. (There are 311 comments as I blog this.)
After all this time, thinking that Burnt Orange Report and Pink Dome and In the Pink Texas and Off the Kuff were going to be the only place to read about our governor’s race and explain why I’m willing to put my life in the shitter in some crazed attempt to convince a few more people to get out and vote for Chris Bell. But here was Mr. Netroots hisself, blessing my Bell-mania.
The comments get down to brass tacks pretty quickly. “Fuck Texas” comes about three in. But then follows the greatest thing in the world–other people explaining why this race matters, why the Democrats in Texas deserve our support, why Chris Bell is a genuinely great candidate this year. Finally, we head off into Kinky land. Manna from heaven.
Got to go–time to read the 58 comments that came in since supper.
Some days, being a Texas Democrat isn’t all bad. Today is that day.
