Oh, they've called him out once or twice, but for the most part, he gets a pass. He's leading in the polls, surprise, surprise!

I saw Cecile's post on Facebook yesterday and it gave me hope. Thanks for posting it here. I'm going to look at it every day until the election is over to remind myself that a truly liberal woman could win statewide in Texas. Yes, it was a different time, but that election was inspirational, just like Ann Richards.

I'll keep this photo by my laptop and look at it every time I see a post on this forum insinuating that Democrats somehow deserve to lose.
