This Just In (Campaign Rhetrickery in Texass)


Two PCC bloggers are headed to the Texas County Convention tomorrow.

I just received this email from the Texas Democratic Party:


Dear fellow Democrat,


In recent weeks, the Texas Democratic Party has seen an unprecedented surge in participation, particularly in our Convention process. Thanks to our two outstanding candidates, Texas saw up to a million people participate in their Precinct Conventions, and we are expecting historic turnout at tomorrow's County and Senatorial District Conventions.If you were elected as a delegate or alternate to your County or Senatorial District Convention, make sure to attend tomorrow. You can click here for more information, including a list of convention locations. Thanks to tremendous enthusiasm from grassroots Democrats, I am confident that these Conventions will be an unparalleled success.

Unfortunately, that enthusiasm may sometimes lead people to act irresponsibly. We have heard reports that misinformation is being spread about tomorrow's County and Senate District Conventions, perhaps using the name of the Texas Democratic Party. Some delegates have reported receiving emails saying that conventions have been cancelled. We have also heard unconfirmed reports that someone is placing robo-calls, claiming to be from the Texas Democratic Party, suggesting that county or district conventions have been cancelled. The Texas Democratic Party has not been informed that any county or district convention has been cancelled or postponed. If you have heard otherwise, please plan on attending your convention as scheduled unless you receive information from your Democratic County Chair or the official Texas Democratic Party website.As we begin the next step in the convention process, all eyes are once again on Texas, watching and waiting to see the outcome of our Conventions. I am confident that the vast majority of Democrats will conduct our convention business in the fairest, most professional, and most impartial manner possible, as we work to convert the enthusiasm driving the convention process into Democratic victories from the County Courthouse to the State House to the White House.


Your friend and fellow Democrat,
Boyd L. Richie


Have no fear, we PCC bloggers will not be deterred by your Republican campaign rhetrickery!


(I will try to live-blog from the event if I can get the wi-fi to work tomorrow)

Also, I got this from Texans for Obama this morning:

Subject: Be Respectful and Have Fun Today!

Fellow Texans for Obama,

Today will be a historic day. We expect record turnout at our senate/county delegate conventions, and Sen. Obama should emerge as the undisputed delegate winner of Texas!

No matter how emotional things get today, let's do our best to be respectful. We're all Democrats, and we're all united in our effort to take back the White House. The Bush/McCain policies have led us into the worst foreign policy disaster in a generation and have caused our economy to fall into recession. It's time for change. There are lots of good Democrats who are supporting Hillary Clinton, and we wish their campaign the best of luck at the county conventions. We look forward to working with our Clinton friends as soon as the nomination is over because we need to stand united if were are going to turn Texas blue in 2008.

If you have any questions about the county conventions across Texas, then please call (512) 476-2008 or click below to learn more:

Thanks to all our volunteers who have worked so hard on the grassroots level. Keep up the good work!

Yes we can!

Do you think that Hillary's campaign is sending out this same email today?
