Is this guy seriously going to be the Texas Democratic nominee for Senate? Have they fallen that far?

I imagine that they haven't fallen any further than your party has in states like NV and DE with Sharron Angle and Christine O'Donnell.

That logic really doesn't work. Sharron Angle got ~45% and Nevada has a GOP governor. Texas Democrats don't win any statewide races.

You carefully omitted Delaware))) Ant, BTW, Angle managed to lose a seat Republicans would win with any other candidate.

Well, if that's true, Republicans in Nevada at least have candidates that are present and willing to run, even if they don't win a primary. Republicans in Delaware were I think shut out in 2010 but have had some past success.

Texas Democrats seem to have given up at winning anything. Hence, Hubbard.

Let's talk about Michigan and Hoekstra, Minnesota and, and who?, Washington, California. All these states have senate races in 2012, too.

Yes...against entrenched incumbents. Those aren't open seats!

Last time Texas had an open seat in 2002, the Democrats at least tried to win it.
