Early voting for the gubernatorial primaries starts today in Texas. Details are at the Texas Secretary of State page.
Here’s 5 reasons why Democrats should vote early and often in the GOP primary — and vote for Hutchison.
- There is no danger Bill White, the excellent Democratic front runner who’s polling very well against Rick Perry, of losing the Democratic primary.
- Perry’s failure to receive more than 50% of the primary vote will ensure a runoff, taking resources away from him against White.
- If Hutchison actually pulls the upset and wins the runoff, a victory for Bill White is more likely, because the teabagger/secessionist crazies who Perry courts (and who Debra Medina says she represents) will stay home on election day in November.
- While it would be morbidly fascinating to watch Perry and Medina try and out-crazy each other during the runoff, the thought of Medina — who makes Perry seem like some sort of technocratic moderate — as governor of the second-largest state in the country is too scary to contemplate.
- Rick Perry is a corrupt, shallow, Christianist hack, and Texas Democrats should jump at any chance to finally get rid of him.
