From the Political Wire:

GOP Hopes Rest on Low Turnout

GOP Planning Negative Ad Barrage

A party planning on convinving people not to vote is a party not worth supporting. I only wish the Democratic Party was as bold as Kinky Friedman:

Convincing People to Vote: We think that it’s not Kinky Friedman vs. Rick Perry. It’s Kinky Friedman vs. apathy. If we get a big turnout, I win. Almost everybody agrees with that. The last thing Rick Perry wants to see is a big turnout. That’s the last thing he wants to see. And that’s a shame because our elected leaders ought to want to see democracy in action — instead of the last turnout, which was 29.3 percent. For governor! $100 million spent, 29 percent vote. It’s sick. If we could get it up to 40 percent, I’m governor.
