Obama in Texas (or where I've been lately)

Where have I been lately? Time flies and I didn't even realize it had been more than a week since my hide and hair had been seen here...

The Obama national campaign has done descended on Texas and I have been amazed. See, the county I live in isn't just red in a red state, Collin County would show up on that blue state red state map as scarlet. Richest little county in Texas. Where Democrats go to learn how it really feels to be disenfranchised. How do I describe this?

Oh! A story. I love stories and this one is true. I love true stories best of all. See, it was like this. My husband and I went in to vote early for one of the national primaries, not that it really counted, I'm thinking that was when I voted for Bill Bradley even though he'd already dropped out and all. But nonetheless, we went to vote, you have to vote in a primary to participate in the election night precinct convention. Two-tiered primary, we call it the Texas Two-Step and national campaign workers call it a nightmare.
