The Beltway Democratic elite have been writing us off for a quarter-century. They wrote us off in 1980 even though Carter-Mondale carried the state in 1976, and it's been that way ever since. All it did was give the Bushites a stronger and stronger power-base here. That result was inevitable.
Instead of writing us off, Democrats in other states ought to be helping us. Heaven knows we've helped them plenty. Beltway Democrats gladly take the proceeds of the Texas Democratic ATM. Hmmm, if they didn't write us off, they might not be able to count on our money so easily. Our people just might find out that if they kept their money here instead of sending it to every Beltway Democratic PAC known, the state might actually be blue after all.
Tell you what, here's a challenge. Instead of counting us out for 2006 and 2008, why don't you send your political donations in 2006 and 2008 to Texas Democratic campaigns, urge your friends to do the same, and recruit a vanload to come campaign for Democrats here. A whole lot of us grassroots Texas Democrats are planning on shocking the world in the next elections. Be a part of it.
