Another legacy of Texas Redistricting 2003: we miss Super Tuesday...
A little-reported side effect of Tom Delay's successful efforts to marginalize Texas Democrats...

Remember that AFTER the Dems returned to the State House in Austin, it took the Repubs three or four rounds of intense infighting to finally decide on which ripoff redistricting scheme to adopt.

Because of that internecine squabble, which finally had to brokered by the Bugman himself, the Secretary of State claimed that due to lack of time the Texas primary had to be postponed by one week to March 9th.

So everyone vote tomorrow - wish we could have been part of it. :mad:
