Do you feel something? A buzz in the air? Maybe little sparks of electricity fluttering near your heart? Those sparks of hope and energy emanating from the Democratic ticket? That’s right, Texas Democrats, there’s a light at the end of the tunnel, and I’m here to tell you that it isn’t a train.

The energy from the top of the Democratic ticket over the last week has been frequently compared to the energy level we saw from President Obama in 2008. If you remember that thrilling time in 2008 politics, you probably agree. With this one caveat, Obama didn’t win Texas.

In 2020, Republicans only won by 5.58 points. Considering that Democrats have moved Texas left in every election over the last two decades (except for 2012), it isn’t a far stretch to believe we’ll move the needle again in November.
