Just got home from the Beto rally

[TXN in WA]

Lots of energy and enthusiasm; it was so nice to see people swarm the House of Blues so early in the morning. As a few of us walked to our cars after the event, Beto drove by and honked at us as he passed by. On my way home (about two miles away), I did a double take when I noticed that the Dodge Caravan I'd seen him driving was pulled over just a few blocks from my house, in front of his mural. Guys - I was so flipping excited because I had been wanting to take a picture with that mural but never imagined that it would be WITH HIM. He's just the nicest guy. Being from El Paso myself, I made small talk and he was just the coolest, most down to earth person ever. I'm sure I sounded like a starstruck idiot but I don't care! I got my Beto picture! ☺️☺️☺️

[Grown2Hate]

33. Wow! NICE!

[Docreed2003]

3. Very cool!!! Thanks for sharing!!

[R B Garr]

4. Nice! Go Beto!

[Beaverhausen]

5. How cool!

His victory tomorrow will be so sweet!

[FakeNoose]

6. Best of luck to Beto O'Rourke and all Texas Democrats!

[CCExile]

7. Thank You! I'd even accept

hopes and prayers at this point!

[Roy Rolling]

8. Freaking Awesome! n/t

[Timmygoat]

9. I can see

One day in the future Beto as a candidate for president, he would have my vote!

[bdamomma]

35. I like him

he's so positive. I hope he gets in and shuts up Cruz.

[calimary]

10. Excellent!

Lordy Lordy I hope he wins!

A teachable moment for Ted Cruz - who sure does need one, if anyone does.

[Gothmog]

11. Cool story

[INdemo]

12. Im thinking right now that Cruz's advisors are telling him

the he is going to lose..Telling him to get his resume in to Goldman Sachs.

[Wintryjade]

13. Lots of fun. Good for you. Glad you got a picture.

The odds may not be there, but all the races, I want this win really bad. Would be the best. !

[TexasBushwhacker]

14. The mural, for folks who haven't seen it

[3catwoman3]

15. Besides my own congressional district in Illinois, this...

...is the flip I most want. Hand Cruz his ass, Beto!

[murielm99]

19. I hope you can flip your district.

I am in a red district in Illinois, too. We have little chance of flipping it, but we have a viable candidate this time, and we will make them fight for every vote, make them spend their obscene war chest.

Go, Sara Dady!

[3catwoman3]

21. Sean Casten is the candidate, and, for whatever...

...it is worth, the polling is looking favorable. IL 6.

I worked for one of his primary opponents, and am not ecstatic about him, but I want Peter Roskam OUT!

[murielm99]

23. We don't have to be ecstatic about them, as I am sure you know.

We just have to vote for them.

I am glad that Obama and other people have been pointing out the sacrifices made by our military, by African Americans and by women so that we can have the right to vote. It should never be thrown away.

Did you by any chance see Madame Secretary on Sunday? There was a great scene at the end. Her daughter decides not to vote because her candidate was not pure enough. Her mother sets her straight.

[Dem_4_Life]

16. OMG what an awesome experience!

That is so flipping exciting!

[dae]

17. So cool TXN, I sooo want him too win.

[calimary]

18. Only gonna happen if Democrats VOTE, Dammit!

C'MON, TEAM!!!

We outnumber them! There are more DEMS than CONS! WE have the majority! The numbers are OURS!

If only we'd USE THEM!!!!

[Cha]

20. Awesome!

[NastyRiffraff]

22. I wish I were you!

I have to confess I have a sort of crush on Beto. At my age!

[bdamomma]

24. He should win

I was listening to Randi Rhodes and she said don't vote straight Democratic do it individually cause the machines they use switch the votes from Beto to Cruz, and if you vote straight Republican there will be no vote for Cruz.

[DFW]

34. I voted absentee, but that's exactly what I did

It took me 20 minutes to fully darken out every little oval next to the name of the Democratic candidate, but I did it. No ambiguity unless they dishonor the whole ballot. Possible, but not likely in Dallas county.

[SallyHemmings]

25. Conversation with a first time Midterm voter.

I landed in Houston today. I am here for work & yes I voted with an absentee ballot.

I arranged for car to snag me at the airport.

My driver looked like me, so once we got on our way, I asked about the energy down here.

He said that he never voted in a mid-term EVER, just for President.

For what it’s worth he is going to spend all day tomorrow transporting first time mid-term voters.

He thinks the pollsters are underestimating people like him and his family.

He said people love Beto & are terrified of the “mad man”.

[Carl45]

26. Great!!!

I am sure he will win tomorrow

[littlemissmartypants]

27. Super cool story.

I hope you can share your picture with us.

[Honeycombe8]

28. You gonna post that picture? I hope so! nt

[TXN in WA]

29. How do I do that? Lol

Is it OK to do that?

[Honeycombe8]

30. It certainly IS okay!

How you do that is you put it on a cloud-based public service on the internet. I used to use photobucket.com, but that isn't free, anymore. There are others, but I don't know what they are.

Once you put it on the internet, then that service provides a link for you to put it in a post.

If you're not already set up for pics in a public service on the internet, it's probably too much trouble for you.

31. i was out blockwalking today to GOTV vote for Beto

first time ive ever done it.

the GOP needs to be sent to the ash heap of history for not denouncing the racist in the white house

[rhiannon55]

32. Please post your picture

We would all love to see it.

[pdsimdars]

36. And you didn't post it for us to see?

you could blur out your face if you're concerned about that, but let's see.

[TXN in WA]

37. OK guys, I have some conference calls and

Presentations to prep for but I'll work on this. I would have to upload the pic somewhere as I haven't done so. Thanks for sharing this excitement with me!

[oasis]

38. Wonderful. Beto signals a revival of hope and change.

[mountain grammy]

39. Staying with our aunt in Horizon City

Just outside El Paso. Took a walk and saw a huge RV decked out for Beto. I started to cry. The owners showered me with pins and bumper stickers. GO BETO!

[Initech]

40. Go Beto!!!!
