Last night while Babs and I were watching the "Potomac Primaries" returns, we saw our first campaign ad for Hillary Clinton. First one we've ever seen down here. The polls in Maryland hadn't closed yet because time was extended by court order due to bad weather.
No, we haven't seen an Obama ad yet.
It's ON in Texas, friends. And just when I thought our primary was too late (March 4) to be important for either party. Dang, it will be all Hillary all the time as long as her funds hold up.
Babs and I predict Obama and McCain will win handily here. Fellow TexasBloggers, what's your call?

I've been advocating change as a third party voter for years. But somewhere over the past half year I drank the Obama Kool-Aid and we'll be heartily disillusioned if Clinton(s) gets the nod.
ReplyDeleteThat being said, although I'm voting/caucusing for O here, the polls and trends seem to indicate that as a state we'll go for Hillary because of the demographics of Texas.
Jackson and I were having this same discussion while watching last night's returns. (Who would've thought we would be interested in the DC and Maryland primaries? Seriously?)
ReplyDeleteI think you are right in your predictions, but I think it will be close between Clinton and Obama.
We haven't seen a single campaing ad out here in the boonies. Not one...
Obama adds ran in San Antonio last night

I saw my first one of each on DFW channel this morning. And then I saw them repeatedly in a short time span.
ReplyDeleteI have not seen ads for either of them yet.
ReplyDeleteI am betting that she will not do well here.
Rumor is Obama is opening a local office here in the Panhandle. It's going to be interesting. If I believed in momentum, I'd say Obama's got it.
ReplyDeleteI'm disappointed we apparently will not be getting a Democratic debate in Houston after all; it's going to be in Austin, of course. I'm predicting an Obama win in the primary, but like Rach,I suspect it will be close.
ReplyDeleteI have seen Obama ads each of the last two mornings during the local news. I saw my first Hillary ad this morning. Both candidates' ads address health care reform.
ReplyDeleteJust a few weeks ago, I commented to my husband how glad I am that we don't have to endure a lot of political advertising down here. I was in NY last election cycle and it was non-stop on tv there! Guess I spoke too soon, though I haven't seen nearly as many ads as I anticipated after Super Tuesday.
O-BA-MA!
ReplyDeleteO-BA-MA!
(Oh, sorry, that's not what you asked...)
I do think it'll be close in that race.
I think McCain has the Repubs sewed up.
Hope your knee recovery is going well.
ReplyDeleteWill you be able to do the limbo on the cruise ship deck?
As Mary Beth so articulately puts it:
ReplyDeleteO-BA-MA
O-BA-MA
Hope you're right! And hope your knee recovery is going well.
What Rach and Zorra said.
ReplyDeleteI think you need someone to step in here and say H-I-L-A-R-Y!
ReplyDeleteI am happy to take on the task.
We have a March 4 primary, too. Thanks for reminding me that I need to find out how to get an absentee ballot.
I must say that when Obama's supporters chant "Yes, we can", I've been wondering "can what?" Apparently the answer is "yes we can beat the Clintons."
ReplyDeleteAn Obama office in the Panhandle? That is some momentum, friends.
My 13 yo saw the "Yes we can" video on YouTube. She said, "I'm sorry, that just makes me think of Bob the Builder."
