Different way to think about this: newspaper endorsements used to swing polls.
Now polls swing endorsements.
Would DMN and FWST endorse Abbott if the polls showed Beto within a couple points? Lol no.
They save their unpopular endorsements for close races

that down-ballot was how the Rs really got back into the game in Texas — in 1990, when @SecretaryPerry@kaybaileyhutch won south of Ann Richards and Bob Bullock. Interesting to consider in the first statewide cycle without straight-ticket voting #tx2022

Paul wasn't too happy about it at the start but eventually I think he started to like it.
RIP Paul.
Houston Metro's Post Oak BRT line has turned out to be a massive urban boondoggle, as many predicted. So, what does Metro do? Double-down on an even bigger boondoggle. Tory Gattis @torygattis has the latest: https://t.co/Pb8HWxKClv
After dodging it for 2+ years I’ve tested positive for COVID-19. I’m fully vaccinated and boosted, and doing fine. While quarantining I’ll continue to fight Chuck Schumer and Joe Manchin’s massive tax increase on working families remotely, consistent with CDC guidelines.
In August 2021, several Texas families with disabled children sued Attorney General @KenPaxtonTX to prevent him from enforcing @GregAbbott_TX's ban on forced masking in public schools.
That case is finally resolved. Reality prevailed: https://t.co/OeNCrBUHNU
It's not terribly surprising that most of the Texas media hates Texas
Most of them are not from Texas and just think of Texas a steppingstone
Most of them think hating on Texas is their ticket to a "bigger" job in NY or DC
