Perry Re-elected?
Predictions have been made that the GOP voters will again outnumber the Democrats and anyone else vying for Perry’s job as Governor. Here is an excerpt of W GARDNER SELBY’s commentary in the Statesman;
Republican operative Bryan Eppstein, who is not part of Perry’s inner circle, cites voter turnouts and election results since 1988 as indicators that the gubernatorial election is over: Perry wins.
History says that GOP voters solidly outnumber Democrats and that more voters align with the parties than with independents. Barring a seismic surge in turnout (which reached a piddling 36 percent four years ago), the Dept. of Conventional Expectations advises Perry to plan his inauguration.
Eppstein skipped one stone toward Perry’s challengers: “Don’t spend any of your personal money” on the campaign.

It sounds like the same old story … what is your response to that? Do Independents back a potentially winnable candidate or do we focus on getting people to vote who normally wouldn’t? How can we as Independents make a difference for real, not just as an intellectual exercise.
