Negative ads are taking out our candidates. What can we
do? The repukes have the money to go negative 24/7 and with big business and their never ending amounts of money funding them, what once was a viable chance for a new government is wasting away quickly.

1. The only thing we can do is keep donating either our money...
or our time. Get involved with "get out the vote". But, I tell you, I think Gov. White is going to have to try something new since there won't be a debate. He could run a five minute or more ad (same as President Obama), introducing himself to voters, relaying to us what he's done to improve the city of Houston, and how he's going to improve Texas. Either something like this OR, he's going to have to put out a lot of time and effort and visit just about EVERY county (especially rural) in Texas in order to get his message out. JMHO.

2. Think it is too little too late and I was previously very
hopeful.

3. I know what you mean... I'm beginning to feel the same way :(
But, if White can continue to visit a lot of counties between now and November 2 (although, he will have his work cut out for him), I think he can pull it off. We can't let the polls prevent us from fighting up to the very last minute.

4. Feel somewht better after walking several blocks here
in my little right wing part of the world. Several people asking about the anti Bill White ads. One was a Democrat. No one, except the Dem, was interested in an explanation. IDed some voters I did not have so was good overall.
