"SNIP.....

A new Quinnipiac poll in Texas finds Gov. Greg Abbott (R) leading challenger Beto O’Rourke (D) by just five points, 48% to 43%.

Abbott held a 15-point lead in December.

I hope I'm wrong, but Abbott's lead is probably more than that. He's suppressed the school shooting news until after the election, and this is, after all, Texas.

May not seem like much, but millions pitching in $5 to $10 bucks adds up in a hurry.

Did the same for Raphael Warnock, John Fetterman, Josh Shapiro, and Tim Ryan.

to paraphrase Chinatown, "forget it Jake, it's Texas"

even if Beto wins by an overwhelming amount (which I hope), the repukes will do some serious fuckery to prevent him from getting in.
