Democrats in Texas

This article in the Austin American Statesmen talks about 300 democrats coming to Austin on September 15th to turn around the republican winnings in Texas. No Republican nominee has lost statewide since 1994 and no Republican presidential nominee has lost since 1976. Bryan Preston, spokesman for the Republican Party of Texas said "the democrats are going to stimulate our economy." This is of course there are 300 democrats staying in hotels in Austin and going to be spending money the whole week. The Republicans are also holding a rally called "Hands off Texas." The democrats are here also because of the government elections next year in 2010 and also offical elections. The democrats also want to regain the House in texas which is at 76 republicans and 74 democrats. Also the national House of Representatives could add four more seats because of the increase in population in Texas since 2000.

You should read this article because it has to do with Texas government and who will likely hold offices in year 2010 for both state wide elected officials and the governor of Texas. It also says in the article since 2004 more republicans have jumped boat to the democratic side. Also, Gallup poll shows more people in the first part of this year identified themselves as Democrats than Republicans
