And if that’s the way we’re going, I’ll add a bottle of Texas White whiskey from Whiskey Hollow in Northern Texas for something like the white lightening from Southern Illinois.. I’m sure DeputyDawg knows where to get that...+4 point victory for C r u z is also my wager...

So you are equating a scenario that I said was a possible outcome where certain states might choose a "blue" country over a "red" country if the USA broke up.....with a local special election in Texas???

You put words in my mouth when I said no such thing (that Texas was turning blue RIGHT NOW). Get bent Conk! :roll:

Bobo O’Rook is down 10 points in the latest poll...I doubt he can buy this election, despite his huge money lead...

How do you plan to get those bottles here???

I think C r u z is clearly up but the particular poll I think you're talking about is done by Dixie Strategies. Dixie Strategies does "robo call" polls; which are not as good as live call interviews.

On RealClearPolitics the latest poll as I type at this point is a Quinnipiac poll. It has C r u z up by 5 and I think it's a better poll. But there's no statistically significant difference between the two anyway. If you consider the margin of error the Dixie poll estimates C r u z by from 2 to 18 points and the Quinnipiac poll esimtaes anywhere from Beto by 2 through C r u z by 12.

When I look at all the polls up at RCP and assume they all represent current sentiment I'd put the 95% interval at from C r u z by 1 through C r u z by 13. So yes it looks good for C r u z.

I'll hand deliver if I have to but I've seen packaging for shipping wine bottles - what part of Senator O'Rourke's Texas do you reside in?

We're trying to do the same thing with you Trumptards. I figure a big strip from the Dakotas down to the Mexican border. We'll use the area as a dump and bombing range (oh my gosh....did I say that? :winky: )

That's OK though. I guess I am "blue" for this round because I AM hoping the the Democrats can take at least one House of Congress. This country really needs that right now. Won't be the end of the World if it doesn't happen. But it'd be better if it does.
