🤔

Talarico has been leading Crockett by 51% to 48% all night. At time of this post, with 66% of the results in, Talarico has 51.6% to Crockett’s 47.1%.  Dallas County has 60% of the vote counted, with Crockett leading by 60.8%. So I hope she won’t make much of this, even while blaming (rightly) the GOP. (I stand corrected. The Texas Supreme Court overruled the lower court, a ruling I can’t fathom right now. Crockett is not out of line at all, IOW. I agree with her, in fact.)

She is, as expected, carrying the black and brown vote, based solely on her margins in urban centers. But Talarico has broader support across the state.

Paxton and Cornyn are headed for a runoff. Democrats think Paxton is beatable, and I still think Talarico is the guy who can beat him. We won’t know who will be the GOP senatorial candidate until after March 27.

Interesting times, indeed.
