hot dammers! there's more! TX-04

To what do we owe this blessing? A poll in TX-04 shows kick ass Dem Glenn Melancon nipping at Ralph Hall's heels:

Hall 48%
Melancon 41%
Other 1%
Don't Know 10%

MOE +/-5, Likely voters

I've never seen Hall's numbers under 50%. For an incumbent, that's not quite the kiss of death but it definitely shows vulnerability. Glenn Melancon has been busting his tail and is poised to capitalise on this. He says:

"These poll results are stunning and give us all great hope. With the support of hundreds of terrific volunteers, I have fought hard over the last year to bring my positive message to Texas families, and the people are responding favorably. They're demanding accountability and a hopeful change. With one mighty voice they're saying, 'We've had enough already.’'"

He's right. Enough is enough. And this mostly rural district could hold the key to a Melancon victory. The western end of the district is vulnerable to the TTC land grab, and anyone with their ear to the ground knows rural Texans are not happy about it. It's home to a demographic who is seeing opportunity for their children slip away; a place where the American dream is becoming more and more unattainable. It's a district primed for change, and Glenn deserves our support.

If you or someone you know lives in TX-04, please hook up with the Melancon campaign's GOTV operation. Volunteer or donate here.
