Lubbock Left

I’m overdue in posting a heap of wonderful pictures. Thanks to my buddy Kirk for taking these wonderful photos while staying involved!

First, on Friday a panel from the Texas Democratic Party held a public hearing about the Texas primary/caucus system here in Lubbock. I regret being unable to attend this public hearing, because I think preserving our hybrid primary/caucus system is an important fight in our Party. Having both methods in play allows for the popular voice to be heard while recruiting a new generation of activists into the Party — and yes, I think this mean that we must continue to allocate some national delegates purely from the caucus process as well. There are obviously opportunities for improving our system, but the fundamental idea of it is solid.

Next, how about a ton of Election Night Victory Party photos?

Kirk has a whole public gallery of 100 or so election night images online. This gallery may be my #2 favorite way to cheer myself up on a bad day, right after the adorable puppy webcam.

Also, the Lubbock Avalanche-Journal has a Spotted Gallery of Election Night photos available as well. I think you can tell which pics are from the Republican party and which are from the Democratic party.

One thing’s for sure: we will have plenty of happy memories to look back on as we build our Party for the 2010 election and beyond!
