I wasn't expecting Obama to get that state with its voting irregularities and conservative streak.

I will become a fundraiser from hell! We represent a lot of Unions, I will help show their membership why activism is important to them! Our Tort system in Texas has been gutted to the point that it is next to impossible to sue a doctor when he/she commits malpractice! Restrictions on homeowners seeing builders, car accidents... We need o take the state back over and fix all of the cronyism, corporate influence etc. We need to replace our whole Texas Supreme Court for the same reason. When they rule in favor of corporations 87% of the time and overturn laws with over 100 years of legal precedence, it is time for change! They talk about activist Judges only when it suits them. They are so activist it is ruining our legal system and stacking the deck against individuals! I hope you kick ass! Thank you!

Vendetta against Kissell in the 8th and wonder if any numbers there made a difference for Mitt.

Very disappointed that Jennifer Roberts did get into the 10th (Sue Myrick's old district), she would have been amazing. The money that was poured into R campaigns really made a difference in NC I think.

He might have the R's try to contact him to stop that fight and recount so we don't find out their secrets. If that happened, I doubt they could control West, he seems to be the kind who would whatever he wants.

Either way, I feel West can pack his bags and go home!
