in Dallas County and did not mention the similar suppression in Williamson County (where Talarico grew up). I hate videos anyway, so that was enough for me to turn it off.
It's great that he's polling high but I suspect that's largely because we haven't gotten through the run-off. The real test will be when the republicans have their candidate. If we still see high numbers for James, then we will be heading into fall in a good position. But as it is now, I expect a tough race. Talarico is an incredibly good candidate for us, but Texas is also Texas.
