Dunno about registration. Hell, I'm not even registered. But the district went about 64% Bush, 55% DeLay in 2004. His district doesn't like him very much. Democrat can win if enough people are disgusted with DeLay. I can't imagine a credible R running against him.
I personally don't think that Morrison is that liberal, but he did get all sorts of endorsements from people like Howard Dean and the Daily Kos and places like that. The DCCC liked him a lot too.
What's good is that there is going to be a major split in the Texas Republican party next year. If Kay Bailey comes back (and it looks like she is more and more every day) to run against Perry in the primary, it's gonna be a bloodbath. With Carol Keaton McClellen Strayhorn Rylander (we call her Grandma) in the wings ready to pounce, lord knows what's going to happen. The good news for the Ds is that simply being a Republican isn't gonna be good enough. And if KBH wins the primary, DeLay will not ride her coattails, because they can't stand each other.
Plus, we have Kinky Freedman as an announced candidate, and Chris Bell's "exploration" has probably hit magma by now. Rumor is he hired Joe Trippi yesterday.
Ya'll should come down to Texas to watch next year. It's going to be damned entertaining.
