Okay, I don’t think we should shoot off the fireworks yet, but maybe we should start looking for a lighter.

Regular customer Dawn just sent me a startling email that she saw an Obama teevee ad on the History Channel.  In Texas.

Texas.

We never see Obama ads in Texas.  Hell, we didn’t even know he was running for President until he won.

There’s a plausible explanation.  Our Governor is fixing to hackoff 6.1 million people in addition to a lot of hospitals and doctors, county and local officials, and small business owners.  See below.

And there’s this.

Over the period of April 12 – July 1, 662 respondents to the Daily Kos/SEIU/PPP State of the Nation poll were reached at a Texas phone number. Among these respondents, Obama and Romney were tied 47-47.

Okay, I know, I know.  This ain’t a definitive poll.  But, even Republicans in Texas will tell you that saddled with their crazy platform, a national candidate who will never win any popularity contests, the infighting in the party made clearer by the Cruz/Dewhurst runoff, and did I mention that they have crazy stuff in their platform, that they are not blooming well.

A few well-placed Obama ads might not win the state but it’ll go a long way in helping congressional candidates and win back enough state house seats to have a fighting chance.

So, if any of you Texans see any Obama ads, let us know!

Thanks to Dawn and Elsie for the heads-up.
