My Vote Makes a Difference in TEXAS???? (It did snow/freeze last night) :P
It’s true. Hell froze over and it happened last night. It snowed in Dallas and technically dropped below freezing! So, I shouldn’t REALLY be surprised that my vote actually matters for once in Texas. 
I just stood in the longest voting line I have ever had to wait in (primary/general elections) and it was the most diverse line I have ever seen voting. I cast my vote next to a Muslim woman and heard all different classes of people talking about coming back for Caucusing later tonight. It is an amazing time to vote. Standing amidst community members of many ethnicity’s, religions, social classes and beliefs allowed me to feel the most patriotic that I have ever felt in my life. This is what America is. This is what America should be. We were all united towards a common hope, a hope for change and a hope for a better country.
I know it will be different in the general election (and not separate/apparent), but I couldn’t help but chuckle at the empty Republican table, sitting and waiting for customers.

I must comment….
Many times I have been an election judge during primaries in Tarrant County. The republicans used to tease us at the end of the day when we’d have to admit that we only had a handful of voters while they had hundreds. Whoa…how times have changed! I voted last week, but this morning Gary went to vote in our little suburban middle class district (I know, you’d tell me it was upper or something but we don’t live in SOUTHLAKE, ya know!) and he said the line was a mile long for the dems and there was no line at the republican table. Wow!
