1. Statement from Congressman Swalwell

[Brother Buzz]

2. He announced he will be resigning...I assume in the next few days

3. A better question is why did Swalwell take away the leverage the Dems had to push on Gonzalez?

And the only answer I can come up with is that there are going to be a lot more reports coming out about Swalwell in the coming days.

7. don't know if that is the REASON - but strongly suspect you are right

in predicting more shoes to drop.
The mongrel has apparently been a mongrel for a long while? "Pattern of behavior" keeps being handed around ...

DO feel sorry for the people that were sure he was the new, hard hitting 'voice' ...

8. Strategy. Democrats don't want an Abbott imposed special election in Gonzales's district!

We havea good chance of flipping the seat in November, but Abbott will put AK-guy in. Although it would be a "special election", it won't. It will be in installment due to the fact that all the Democratic areas think they're in another district! (Long story because we are, but we would have to vote in this race instead of our new district) The Democrats won't show up because they won't know that it's their district.

9. Were the reports that Jeffries wanted to tie Swalwell and Gonzales together in an expulsion vote false?

10. Luna does

4. It's shocking to witness someone in public life flame out so quickly.

Democrats usually do the right thing, their voters expect it of them. Republicans seldom do because their voters don't care.

5. Sadder than I have words to express.

6. I want Tony to stay in. If he's out Katy will run against the incumbent that Abbott put in.

If Tony stays, Katy runs in an open seat. And she runs on Tony's reputation too. She has a good chance of winning.

Abbott is notorious for rigging special elections. Look what he did when Sylvester Turner died? He refused to hold an election. This time, it will be rigged an rushed. Abbott will hold it when he has the votes to get AK-guy in a special. No, just no. Plus most of the Democrats don't know which district they live in right now. I just voted in CD 21 in the primary, but if there is a special election for an unexpired term, I will end up voting in CD 23. How many people would know that. The rest of CD 23 is very rural. But the suburban San Antonio area is sliced and diced. I can just see me going door to door..."Remember how you voted for Kristin Hook in the primary and how she won? Well, you need to vote for someone else ". No, just no!!!

The rural areas will all stay the same! CD 23 will stay red if a special election is held.

You people aren't from here!!! You don't know how it is!!

Eric will be replaced with a Democrat. CD 23 will fall into perpetual darkness....
