Texans on the Election
A new poll produced by members of the UT-Austin Government Department and the Texas Politics Project, found that 67% of Texans think the country is moving in the wrong direction. This reflects similar polls across the rest of the country.
Texans do, however, support John McCain over Barack Obama 42 to 33%, and incumbent Republican John Cornyn over challenger State Representative Rick Noriega 44 to 31%. Libertarian Bob Barr and Independent Ralph Nader are both polling less than 5%.
Keep in mind, however, that Nader will not be on the ballot in Texas.

These are the kinds of things that confuse me about Texas Polotics. Overall people feel that we are going in the wrong direction, so they support the candidates who plan to keep things going the way they are rather than changing.
If you want a change then vote for change…
