Similar results on his other Texas visits. The Democratic Party hadn't spent a dime here. The only political ads we see are Tea Party types trying to out conservative each other. We don't get to hear other voices and there are a lot ready and willing to jump if shown some real Democratic leadership. We need voter registration drives and Democrats who are willing to work here.

A lot of us do work on it, but without national attention it seems to go no where. Few candidates are willing to stick their necks out here without support from the Party. DWS could care less!
