Here are the questions by Texas bloggers for Martin Frost in his campaign for DNC Chair. I must credit Charles Kuffner of Off the Kuff for his help specifically with several questions, and all of the Texas Tuesdays patron blogs for their input.

Feel free to repost any of this, just cite the Burnt Orange Report (BL = Byron LaMasters, MF = Martin Frost):

MF: Thank you for these questions. They are an important opportunity to communicate with Democrats and other progressives throughout the country.

Last week Talmadge Heflin, an incumbent Texas Republican state representative decided to contest his 32-vote loss to Vietnamese-American Democrat Hubert Vo in a West Houston district. Now, two more Republican losers in Texas state representative races have decided to contest their elections in the Republican controlled state house. With three election contests this year, that equals the number of contests in the past twenty years. Republicans lost seats in the Texas State house this year for the first time in thirty years, so they've decided they'll do anything to usurp the will of the voters.

Time to raise hell, folks. Texas State Rep. Talmadge Heflin (R-Houston) lost his re-election last month to Vietnamese-American immigrant Hubert Vo (D-Houston) by 32 votes. Despite no irregularities in voting on election day, Heflin has decided today to contest the election in the state house where a partisan GOP committee and a bunch of lawyers can seat either man or call a new election.

Today, Richard Morrison asked his supporters to help another Houston Democrat in his bid to prevent Republicans from stealing an election. That Democrat is State Represenative-Elect Hubert Vo, a Vietnamese-American immigrant who won a state house race by 31 votes (out of over 40,000 cast) defeating a long-time Republican incumbent, Talmadge Heflin, the second ranking Republican in the Texas House.

John Cornyn: Gays = Box Turtles

Crossposted from my blog, Burnt Orange Report:

Occationally, you have to give Andrew Sullivan a little credit. He found this gem about the Junior Senator from Texas:

"It does not affect your daily life very much if your neighbor marries a box turtle. But that does not mean it is right. . . . Now you must raise your children up in a world where that union of man and box turtle is on the same legal footing as man and wife."
-- Sen. John Cornyn (R-Tex.), advocating a constitutional ban on same-sex marriage in a speech Thursday to the Heritage Foundation.

That's right. In 2004, it's men marrying men and women marrying women. In ten years, it'll be men marrying goldfish and women marrying box turtles. Really, can anyone take these nuts seriously?

For those of you not aware, several bloggers (Burnt Orange Report, Yellow Dog Blog, Greg's Opinion, Off the Kuff, Southpaw and the Free State Standard) here in Texas are working on the "Texas Tuesdays" project, where we profile and promote Texas Democratic candidates every Tuesday until election day. Right now we're focusing on seven congressional candidates (the five targetted by Tom DeLay and two challengers, Richard Morrison and Morris Meyer). Today, we're profiling Chet Edwards who is running for reelection to Congress in the new 17th district. Check out Texas Tuesdays for all of today's posts. Read More

Today, more new congressional races will be effectively decided than any other day until the November election. Over the next few hours, I'll preview all of the 32 congressional races in Texas, and what will be decided in today's primaries. The returns will be available here begining at 7 PM CST.

Here we go - All 32 Congressional Districts...(candidate lists via the Secretary of State, I = Incumbent):

[Update, by Jerome Armstrong] In the extended post, ByronUT has a detailed analysis, here's the skinny from my take in the general: Currently, Democrats have 16 seats, and the Republicans have 16 seats. The Democrats will be favored in 10 seats, and the Republicans will be favored in 17 (we are rooting for Morris Meyer in the 6th). There are 5 seats that are currently toss-ups. Democrats hold three (1st, 2nd, 17th), and Republicans hold two (19th, 32nd). The 32nd, Frost vs Sessions, is going to be one of hottest House battles in the nation. Read More

Help Defeat Pro-Redistricting "Democrat" Ron Wilson

Ron Wilson is a "Democratic" Texas State Representative from Houston. He represents a Black plurality district that is overwhelmingly Democratic, but he along with one other "Democrat" State Rep. Vilma Luna (D-Corpus Christi) voted for the final version of the Tom DeLay redistricting plan which has already forced one Democratic Congressman (Jim Turner) to retire, and has seriously jeopardized the careers of six others (Lloyd Doggett, Chet Edwards, Martin Frost, Nick Lampson, Max Sandlin and Charlie Stenholm). You can help defeat Ron Wilson by donating to his very well qualified (and progressive Democratic) opponent in Texas State Board of Education board member Alma Allen. Go over to her site and learn more about her.

Ron Wilson has been in office for 27 years and it's time for him to go. Donate to Alma Allen today and add $.27 to let her know it's coming from the blogs. Read More
