Good point. Talarico is seemingly still leading Paxton in most polls.

Talarico is behind in his own internal polls.

I just looked and couldn't find that, BD. I'm curious.

Mark Penn just ripped Talarico. (and basically admits Talaricos polling has not been good, especially since his disappearance.)

And Penn does not believe this is the flu. He said other candidates have been sick, and some (like Trump) were even shot, yet they would make themselves available quickly for questions. There's no reason if you have the flu that you can pop into a web cam and make statements or something. But this guy has been completely absent, as has his campaign. Penn says it appears he's about to get back out there, but there's going to need to be an explanation of this. Because noone is believing its the flu.

I would choose to have a baby baboon tickle my testicles as opposed to voting for either Talarico or Paxton.

Local News Outlet Tried to Get to Bottom of Talarico Mystery - Response Shows There's a Big Problem

while Talarico is in hiding, he should check out TrumpRx.gov.

also, Talarico face-planted right into the obamacare disaster.

Rumors are he checked into a mental healthcare facility for treatment for a breakdown.

And here I thought Beto admitting he eats dirt was a strange look during a campaign.

Can we officially call this guy "Beta", now?

Covid no longer sexy to Democrats.

Maybe I'm misreading, BD. But I see this poll as having been conducted for the Paxton campaign and not the Talarico campaign.

Not if doing so means you boys can no longer refer to Bill Dazzle as the "Beta Male of the CSNBBS.com board."

Internal polls for Dems showing the same. Bill, unless Dems can make inroads in North Texas East Texas or West Texas they will lose. El Paso is in far west and it’s an island unto itself different than the rest of West Texas.

Polls in Texas tend to focus on Urban areas. The problem with this is that Texas doesn’t vote 70-30 in urban areas it’s more like 55-45 and since Texas is so large it’s not hard for the rest of Texas to overcome the urban areas.

I would think North Texas would be the best chance to make inroads but I haven’t seen it yet.

Another poll that is at least not being as dishonest as the national media polls.

The same polls showing Talarico ahead were also the same polls that showed Harris leading Trump by 4 points.

Just more MSM propaganda

The aftermath is always how were they so off.

Simple, just look at past voting statistics and take your sample from.

Of course if you are a woke progressive liberal this is impossible to do thus the non valid polls.

Polls show James Talarico still leading Ken Paxton
in Texas by 3 to 8 percentage points.

Thanks for the update, BD. Interesting info about the poll focus. I would not have known.

I would like to see Avery Ayers win the election but, of course, that's not going to happen.
