Early voting sets record in San Antonio, TX
Over 14,000 people voted in San Antonio on the 1st day of early voting - 18 Oct. The previous record was set in 2000, when 7800 people voted on the first day. Great news, SA is typically Democrat.

6. Hey we beat you in Austin (Travis) but great turnout anyway!
http://www.news8austin.com/content/top_stories/default.asp?ArID=122382
3 percent of Travis County voters cast ballot
Monday was the first day of early voting for next month's elections.
Nearly 3 percent of registered voters in Travis County, roughly 16,000 people, voted early. That is more than double the number during the last presidential election.

We can take this state back hopefully soon. Lets vote Texas Democrats - make them accountable and give the repukes the boot!

9. Yes, San Antonio is Dem
Avoid the outlying areas, of course, but you have to do that in Austin as well.

San Antonio is very Democratic. We are the home of Henry Cisneros and the late, great Henry B. Gonzalez, after all. :-)
