All that talent and you couldn't have stopped Dubya back when he was running for governor?!?!

Believe me, we (the lefties) tried. But apparently we also couldn't get Ron Kirk elected as a senator, or vote out Gov. Goodhair.

But we're not bitter.

I'm not sure I should be on this list, frankly -- I don't write about politics, I witter about it. But I will leave the question of politiblogging to the eye of the beholder.

And, belatedly, happy birthday, Chuck!

Heh! much better :) I'm adding a link to your post from mine, much easier that way :)

What did you think of that bumper sticker?
http://www.cafeshops.com/cp/prod.aspx?p=azizhp.4805952

My sister Kristin gave me that very bumper sticker several years ago. Tiffany cites it as one of the reasons she was willing to marry me. :-)

John Little of Blogs of War is also Houston, TX.

heh :) I just think its awesome. and im a native chicagoan, who spent two years in boston! still, theres something about texas.

note that I am not all that enchanted iwth houston though.. another thing entirely...

Now I need to find one that says "I *was* born in Texas, and I'm tryin' to get back." And thanks for the links. Now I'll have to devote twenty-THREE hours a day to blogsurfing.

Andrew, I'll be more than happy to add a fellow Tiger to the Expats section, or better yet the Texas section once you've found your way back. Let me know when you finally succumb to the siren song of blogging.

Does Tomball count for being a Houston blogger?
I will admit I have not been bloggin much lately (unemployment funk I guess) but I intended it to be political from the first.

Howzabout Rachel Lucas and Kim du Toit?

Thanks though I have to admit that there are days that driving down I45 seems anything but resonable. The only thing that cheers me up on those days is that it could be worse. My second job after I moved down here was in Belaire. The trip down 249 to the beltway to 290 and then the dreaded loop usually took 90 mins. or so if I was lucky. One night we had to work late (11:00) and I made it home in 45 mins. That was an eye opening experience.

I keep finding myself surfing back to blogger and blogspot. I suspect it won't be long now before the bloggin' bug bites, but good. I'll let you know.

Hi there...would be honored if you added me to your list, even if I am *definitely* 'across the isle' from you!

Hey, great to know about all these Texas bloggers. BTW, I've moved to a new MT-style address. Check it out sometimes, y'hear.

Hey - I just wanted to introduce myself and my Texas political blog. Jim and I have started a political blog called "The Burnt Orange Report". As you can probably guess we are both students at the University of Texas and are both active Democrats. We've posted on a variety of politically related topics ranging from UT issues to national issues.

Thanks,
Byron
The Burnt Orange Report.

Hey, Byron. I saw y'all in my referral logs earlier today. Glad to have you on board.

Thanks for including my web journal. When I started it I expected to focus on politics more than I have, but I am easily distracted.

By the way I have moved it off of Blogspot to a new location: prairie point.

Bill - it's fixed now. Sorry about that, I thought I'd already done that.

Charles: We tried. And when he got elected, we decided the quickest way to get rid of him was to convince him to run for President.

We never thought he'd win. After all, he had a lousy record in Texas.

This is a great list! Feel free to add, or not add, my url to the list of Texas bloggers. It's up to you. Don't feel any pressure. Really.

You might add People's Republic of Seabrook.

Thanks for linking my site! http://thecblog.blogspot.com

Great list. Will enjoy perusing and cruising. Would appreciate adding my blog which is all political and nothing but the political, so help me. Called Political News & Analysis.

Political headlines with context, editorial, history, government links. Right links, Left links, Middle Links.
Thanks. David

Please add my weblog, tholos of athena.

Add me and Winding Road in Urban Area

Charles,

I've been banging away on Writerrific for the past few months and, despite my best efforts, it's grown increasingly political.

Maybe it's because I'm based in Richmond, where I get a closer look at Tom DeLay and his roots than I'd really like.

A couple of days ago I woke up and finally realized that we're living in a one-party system now, and so any strategy for improving our lives needs to be adjusted to accommodate that fact.

I'd be pleased to have Writerrific added to your list; Off the Kuff is really well done and has become part of my regular daily reading.

All the best

Bob,

Done. I apologize for the oversight - I'd meant to do this sooner. Thanks!

Ex-pat from San Antonio here.

Would like to add the whole link list, if it is consolidated somewhere...let me know!

All you political bloggers in Texas, please note. WatchBlog (www.watchblog.com) is a three column political blog of a special kind. First the columns are Democrat, Third Party & Independent, and Republican. The focus of all articles is election 2004 issues from each party's perspective. Finally, the almost 30 writers there are carefully screened and selected for quality analysis, research and writing skill.

Therefore, I would like to invite any Texas Political bloggers out there who would like to see their work published on WatchBlog, to email me at drremer@gvtc.com and include your Blog Url, so I can review your writing skills.

Finally, WatchBlog is a great resource for poltical bloggers in getting multiple perspectives on the issues of the day. I use it as a stepping stone to articles for my own blog, Political News & Analysis (http://radio.weblogs.com/0124721/)

Hi guys
Interesting, Great and big content literature to find another blog
Good luck guys

Here's another Texas blog. It's mine and it is called Texas Politics:

http://www.freestatecommunications.com/vpltz/blog1/blog.html

I also recently stumbled on "Texas' Favorite Prostitutes" which is a cute blog on Republicans and their antics. It's quite partisan, so beware. It's over at blogspot at http://texashos.blogspot.com

austinlowdown.blogspot.com

political news from austin

"Watching Parking Meters". My blog from San Antonio. Links to Demo's, election links, and progressives. Planning links to TX Demo Candidate sites. Thanks.

Just stumbled across your page Googling for a Texas blogger ring. I'm Kacie at Peppermint Tea. Lived in Texas all my life.

Hey, Charles, I'm based out of Austin and have a very modest political blog: A.D.'s Rug Gallery and Hotbed of Liberalism Feel free to add me to your list.

A.D.

I am a Texas blogger. I blog mainly national issues but not solely. http://silenceisconsent.blogspot.com

I too am a blogger from Houston. Please add me to your list.

My blog INCITE is a political blog with four writers. The two primary writers are Houstonians, and the other two are Houston ex-pats.

okay, so my blog, based here in austin, has turned into a political blog. i didn't mean it to. it just is. it all makes me so mad. so anyhow, http://juliebeth3000.blogspot.com

and the same thing has happened, i believe, to my friend adam, also based in austin (ALMOST williamson county, but not quite. i think). he's running A Violently Executed Plan at http://aclipscomb.blogspot.com.

check 'em out!

I actually live in an Austinite ethnic enclave in Williamson County - Anderson Mill.

Life on the other side of the Chickenwire Curtain.

This is not a compliment is my blog...
based minutes from downtown houston...
it's mostly links to political and cultural stuff I think my friends should be paying attention to, with a little bit of commentary from the perspective of a misanthropic populist...
if you could add me to the list that would be great...
I'm just your average lefty lib-leaning tin-foil hat wearing crank, but I've got style! ;)

Found this doing a google search for blog texas. would love to be added to your list. I am not liberal so if that matters i guess i would be out. you have a great list of Texas blogs though. There is also a webring for texas blogs.

Wasn't sure if i put the link to my site here. so trying again.

You forgot the Awnry Young Texan. He's a Texas political blogger, in fact an excellent writer, great sense of humor, I should know, I am the Awnry Young Texan. URL is posted within my name.

Boys lets get Hillery ready in 2008. That's our only chance to get a Demo in the Whitehouse. There will be another Bush running in 2008. You just wait and see.
Thanks Bud

Thanks for adding me to your list, I'm surprised I'm just now finding it - I used to have a link to Off the Kuff in my sidebar, and it will be there again...been doing quite a bit of re-arranging. I was harassed by well-meaning friends into removing all of my anti-Bush material, but really, the site traffic has improved tenfold since. Stuck in a GOP stronghold and wanting to get some important info out, it was the only way to go. I have since been invited to network w/ a group of Republicans here who have long been active in removing a particular group of misfits from their party. Very refreshing.

Craddick's new Texas district has it all. All of the water: the San Saba river, the Two Llano rivers, the Colorado river, Lake Buckhannan, Lake Ivie, Lake Proctor, Lake Brownwood, and Lord knows how many springs and wells. All of the pecans: the famous San Saba pecan orchards, and the rest of the pecan bottoms and orchards. All of the finest cattle herds, the famous San Saba auction barn, the mason auction barn, and many of the finest ranches in Texas, including Tommy Lee Jone's ranch in beautiful San Saba, Texas. All of the very finest people who ever walked the face of the earth: the wonderful San Saba people, the Llano people, and the Mason people. And to top off all of the above, the district includes BOTH: LUCKENBACK AND LOWAKE! Did I mention anything about SAN SABA?

Hi, I just wanted to thank you for adding my blog Common Sense to your list. I feel kind of bad, my blog only has like 5 regular readers (and one is my mom) but I'm still very happy to see it at the top of the page.

I also occasionally write at Burnt Orange Report which, I think, is one of the best political blogs in Texas. It's got a great group of guys who write for it and I'm happy I get to post for them every once in a while.

Thanks for the Herculean effort of sorting and listing all of these blogs. It is an invaluable resource for bloggers and blog readers.

Don't forget me. I am The Monk, one-half the bloggers (and the blog's founder, creator and writer of the majority of its posts) of The Key Monk, a politics, politics, politics and sports blog. My partner is a New Yorker, but no one's perfect.

I'm a Texas (Dallas) political blogger, too, and I've had you on my blogroll for over a year. Sure would appreciate being included.

Best regards.

How about the Bull Moose? Isn't he from Waco?

great list.

I represent Lubbock.

There's my blog, Nick Schwellenbach. I'm a Texas expat in DC, but will probably return to Austin sometime in '06. I also blog at the Project On Government Oversight (POGO) Blog.

Bitter?

Yeah, I'm bitter.

But I'd be happy to be on this list, Kuff.

Very interesting stuff.Here is my blog site.
Thanks,
Ronnie

I am interested in finding any information about a Texas Republican, Jeff Fisher. Looking for both positive and negative information. Very important to obtain this information

Charles,

Thanks for putting my blog on the list. I didn't know that anyone was compiling a list of Texas bloggers.

I would recommend adding
http://nocapital.blogspot.com/
rorschach is located here in Austin as well.

Additionally

http://first-draft.com/

Tena and Holden Caulfield are in Texas (Dallas and Austin respectively), but Athenae and Pie are located elsewhere, so I don't know how they fit into the list.

http://radnofsky.com/blog.asp

The above URL directs to a weblog of the activities of an exceptional Texas candidate for the United States 2006 Senate race. Rad-note-sky's details the events of Barbara Ann Radnofsky's campaign. Barbara Ann is tired of traditional bi-partisan politics and offers a fresh voice for Texans. She is not a career politician; she is a mother, a teacher, a Houstonian and a professional problem-solver. Ms. Radnofsky wants to serve by occupying the seat that Kay Bailey Hutchison now holds. It is rumored Ms. Hutchison will announce her gubernatorial goals soon.

Please consider adding Rad-note-sky's to your list of blogs.

Thanks,
S Southern

I know I not the only one with the sense to see through the hipe,because the polls show I'm in the majority.Truth and family values is what founded this country,and some people seem to have forgotten that.Conservatism is not to the extreme right,it's the principles our constitution is based on,read up,take a history lesson,or simple seek out the truth.

One hell of a list. What a great list. We have alot of work to do in the next few years.

Thanks, Truth Serum
