Doing what we can to win

Today our great state is buzzing with the Texas Primary elections. A lot of folks have their theories on how things will end up, the scenarios are endless. This Houston Chronicle commenter spoke to a Houston couple who were playing the political block out game to try to vote Kay Bailey Hutchinson out the race. They were pretty confident Bill White would win the Democratic Party nomination, so, to vote for what they felt was a lesser evil, the wife switched parties in the primary race to abliviate Kay Bailey and get her off the ballot. In order to win, the writer is claiming Democrats are even getting in on the action and playing the numbers game, attempting to have a positive affect in November. The logic behind this strategy is brilliant, if enough Democrats show up in the primary to vote for the 'better' Republican, it could actually work.
I personally think this is a great idea, however, I would be voting for Kay Bailey in hopes of blocking out Rick Perry. He's had a free reign for 14 years! When will Texans finally wake up and say enough is enough. We can complain all day, but this is the year we can finally do something about it. Sure Kay Bailey may not be the sharpest tool in the shed, but look at he opponent Rick Perry! Standing next to him, she doesn't look too bad. All politicians have a spotted past, but when we lay them all out, we know what Governor Perry is capable of, why not take a chance on someone else.
We will know the outcome of the Primary tonight. I can't wait to see if the Democratic stragegist who played the game today had any impact.
