How many times have you watched a talk show host bully a less articulate guest with slogans, cheap attacks, and an insulting demeanor?

How many times have you wished that someone would stand up to the yahoos, hooligans, boneheads, and O'Reilly clones who think that their opinions are facts?

How many times have you wanted to see a candidate deliver a bare-knuckled response with charm, poise, intellect, and power? Well, it all happened last week on the Houston PBS show that put Barbara Ann Radnofsky in the ring with a conservative bully. This is a video not recommended for vegetarians or those who don't like the sight of red meat, bone, blood, and gristle. Read More

The disclosure by a Princeton professor and his students that they could easily hack into Diebold machines is now mixed with news which Attorney General candidate David Van Os has long emphasized: our current Texas AG Greg Abbott is is selectively, racially targeting Democratic activists assisting with ballot activities.

David Van Os has highlighted this issue for a long time, as he has cris-crossed the state tirelessly working to build the Democratic Party base, and we've discussed experiences in protect-the-ballot and poll watching activities, as was brought home when I worked GOTV/poll watching/protect-the-ballot when I was assigned to Arkansas in the last presidential election.

I'm writing on the road to Sonora, having left this morning at 2:00AM. The excitement has picked up as we have had radio or TV interviews every day, much time on the phone, and increasingly interested crowds across party lines. With my opponent well below 50 percent in the Zogby poll, interest has increased. We've had radio or TV interviews each day. I enjoyed teaching to the local high school classes on Government and Economics, and I am making plans for teaching my Peer Mediation class this coming Wednesday. Read More

Just when you thought it couldn't get any more inane, the Fort Worth Star-Telegram opened coverage of the campaign season today by covering Sen. Kay Hutchison's meeting with American Idol Kelly Clarkson, who praised Sen. Hutchison by saying, "You smell great."

Looks like we're in for substantive coverage of the issues, with meaningful dialogue and debate from the D.C. press corps.

We've been constantly traveling, with interviews, trips to the Hill Country,including private meetings, and a San Antonio Labor Mass followed by an AFL-CIO Labor Brunch, with my keynote speech available as a release in the news section. The San Antonio trip was number 495, followed by Bar-B-Ques and rallies in Sugarland, League City and Clear Lake City this Labor Day weekend. We prepare to leave for for Corpus Christi Tuesday, and then look forward to our 500th campaign trip, which we'll celebrate on Houston
television on Thursday.

TX-Sen: Barbara's notes from the road as she heads to Canyon Lake

As we head to trip #488, we heard news that my opponent was lauded by a local newspaper for stopping in a small town in east Texas and visiting the newspaper editor, a friend to hers for many decades. That one stop was contrasted with my campaign, and she apparently claimed that I avoid small towns. Since we know she reads my diaries, which have covered hundreds of small town trips, the reference couldn't have been an oversight.

We enjoy the strategy though: let's make this race a referendum on who has campaigned harder and listened better in small towns throughout Texas! Read More

Vicky Waddy, spokeswoman for Zachry Construction, the highway construction giant whose family members and political action committee constitute one of Sen. Hutchison's largest contributors, complained to Democratic nominee for U.S. Senate Barbara Ann Radnofsky over Radnofsky's coverage of the company in press releases concerning the Trans-Texas Corridor.
Radnofsky's campaign manager Seth Davidson explained:

Zachry Construction called and was extremely upset. They demanded to know "What is the purpose of using the Zachry name in your campaign release? And, what is the reference to Rockwall--we don't even have any projects in Rockwall right now."

She remains in Rockwall for two additional days of study, discussions, and receptions for her U.S. Senate campaign, as she reached her 480th campaign trip. Read More

From Barbara:

I'm told by several people that there's a DSCC ad which debuted recently. Here's the description from a blogger:
"...the DSCC has labeled Latino immigrants as terrorists as they were placed between Iran's president and Kim Jon Il. It is not only sickening, it is also an insult to Latino voters who already feel under attack by Republicans"
I've been asked to take no DSCC money generated by the ad. Agreed. But I should disclose: this is an easily kept promise, since I've never received a penny from the DSCC. Ever.
Here in Texas, my condemnation of the Ku Klux Klan and its message of domestic terrorism fell on generally deaf ears, with some courageous and notable exceptions. My videos, speeches and op-eds supporting renewal of the Voting Rights Act were better received.

Barbara Ann is going to be all around the state this month, with a big event in Canyon Lake! We would appreciate you showing up if at all possible. This campaign is a very open one (in contrast with the secretive Republican fundraising apparatus) and Barbara would love to meet you. These are all public events, and many of them are being hosted by county Democratic party organizations. Read More

When Kay Bailey Hutchison told the Austin American Statesman that she would, in fact, debate Barbara Ann, she said "I think debates are certainly worthwhile, and I certainly look forward to having one in the right format this fall." On the issue of how many debates however, Hutchison said, "I'm sure if we have one, it will be replayed many times. And so people will have opportunity to see the differences."

Asked about her opponent's change of heart, Barbara Ann Radnofsky pointed to her own grassroots support after 475 campaign trips, and to polling data, including a July Zogby poll showing three consecutive months of decline by Sen. Hutchison to a historic low of 52%.

As far as Sen. Hutchison's suggestion of replaying one debate multiple times as a substitute for a series of debates, Radnofsky said, "That's like having one playoff game, watching it on video seven times, and calling it the World Series." Read More
