On the way there, I passed 29 ambulances headed the other direction. As I came into greater Austin, I listened to the governor’s press conference in which he explained over 100 ambulances were headed to greater Houston to evacuate those needing mobile life support.

More people participated in the Democratic precinct conventions in Texas than voted in the Republican primary. Texas is in play in November and John Cornyn better start boxing up his place in the Beltway.
