I have a ton to say but let me summarize: Michelle, you are absolutely killing it! This is how a focused, energetic and unapologetic *strategic* modern coordinated campaign is formed. You are the center of the most dangerous (to the Reds) and likely successful political upheaval in the last three decades of Texas politics. You understand that a strategic foundation allows for interlocking tactical campaigning. Economical and highly effective force multipliers. We finally have a structure to compete on the battlefield the Reds have defined. Oh, and Virts? Nothing there. Quibbling centrist. Allred light but without the political experience. Lead on.

My only complaint about Allred last cycle was the completely lack of grassroots strategy. Right after primary he should had getting signs out and working DFW and Houston and the rest blue cities hard to recruit volunteers to start organizing. But he didn’t. He did absolutely nothing except raise money and I couldn’t even see him until the Democratic Convention in Chicago and I know some of his people. He just wasn’t there. And then they waiting until Labor Day to really start and by then we had effectively lost. No one was talking to the base. And we didn’t knock on the base doors. If we did we would have won. The 1.5 million voters missing work the base in the blue cities.
