We would be blue if not for what Delay did.

It is about time the democrats are doing something about this. There are other things they must work on to make the difference.

The U.S. Chamber of Commerce has been spending hundreds of millions of dollars on local and state races allowing Republicans to run over their opponents. Raising and/or diverting more DNC money to these races, especially judicial races is a must!

Voter registration drives to overwhelm the Republicans is doable. Here in Texas we have large numbers of unregistered voters typically aligned with Democrats. A concerted effort to register and educate these potential voters on what forms of ID are acceptable to be qualified to vote could help turn this state blue.
