Comments on: BSC Republicans: A Review of Election Night, Texas 2010. http://mugsysrapsheet.com/2010/03/03/bsc-republicans-a-review-of-election-night-texas-2010/ Recording history for those who seek to rewrite it.

Democrats had few real contests and in my county, Galveston, only 7 contested positions. We had a 12.5% turnout in our county of 300,000 with nearly twice as many Republicans and Democrats voting. Americans love to complain but don't bother to vote! Rick Casey had a good column today about Hutchinson's poorly run campaign: http://www.chron.com/disp/story.mpl/metropolitan/casey/6894315.html What was she thinking promoting the endorsements of the Dick Cheney, the Bush Family, Henry Kissinger, and James Baker, which played into Perry's claims that she was a "Washington Insider"? Perry ran a vicious campaign nit-picking the 9000 earmarks Hutchinson voted for during her 17 years in the U.S. Senate, mostly when it was under Republican Control. http://www.khou.com/news/politics/85254702.html The minuscule "fruit fly research" money earmarked for FRANCE was part of a mostly Defense Appropriations bill (H.R. 2764) in 2008 under G. W. Bush. But the reich-wing loves to hate on FRANCE so Perry pandered to them. So what if a few dollars was given to France contributing to Mediterranean fruit fly research (after all they are on the Mediterranean!) when that fly could devastate the citrus industry in our nation! http://thomas.loc.gov/cgi-bin/query/D?c110:9:./temp/~c110VkoKPp:: I see that Republicans are complaining about Democrats crossing-over and voting a Republican ballot in our OPEN primary state.
