7. I did not take offense at your numbers

I have heard several different breakdown of the numbers needed for Wendy and Leticia to win at a couple of state party and Battleground events. People are donating a great deal of money to Battleground Texas and Wendy based on these numbers. I do not have access to the powerpoints used at these meetings but I did have Kuffner's analysis available to me which is why I posted those numbers in the post above.

I personally think that both Wendy and Leticia will be competitive in November. I really like Leticia and I think that she has a better chance of winning compared to Wendy due to Dan Patrick. I agree that we need to realistic and I hope that the money that I have contributed to Wendy, Leticia and Battleground will not be wasted. I am also realistic and I think that it is going to be a battle to win in Texas. Even if we are not successful this cycle, Texas will become a blue state at some point. Battleground Texas and these races are simply trying to speed up the process and I am in this fight for the long haul.
