ORIGINAL: caitlyn I'm not so sure that the majority of Texans want thing shaken up. There is some history here in Texas, of voters that talk a good game, but don't make it out on election day. In the 2002 election between Perry and Sanchez, several newpapers, namely the San Antonio Express News and The Austin American Statesman, called the race dead even just before election day. Perry ended up beating Sanchez by around 20%. The long and short is that Perry got the roughly 2.6 millin votes he was expecting, but Sanchez came up far short, with a very low turnout from Hispanics outside the RGV. I would like to see Perry beaten, but don't see that happening. As a matter of fact, I don't think it will be close at all. I think Perry will win by around 20%, perhaps even more. The media outlets that are calling this race very close, are our old friends at the San Antonio Express News and the Austin American Statesman. Governor Perry was very unpopular in my neck of the woods for taking in all the Katrina refugees, and was widely slammed in the Houston Cronicle. Much of that has passed, now that many Houstonians have come to the realization that we made a pretty healthy killing off the Katrina refugees. Caitlyn.... I've only caught bits and pieces, but what do most of your fellow countrymen /women think-about this upcoming ''land grab'' with regard to the new ''NAFTA'' highway they want to build through Texas? I've heard a lota Texas folk are mad as hell? - R
