I haven't seen any of your posts lately. I'm getting settled into the new apartment and job hunting so we'll see what happens.

Ortiz is a solid pick and I think that he is capable of upsetting Ducky Jamas, particularly if the Democrats have a strong turnout in 2014 with the probable nominees (Davis, Van de Putte) at the top of the ticket. I was surprised when Ortiz got knocked out of the Texas House back in 2010. He has the advantage of his family name and some organization already so this is a district that could sway back into the Democratic column.
