My fond political hopes keep running headlong into political reality as the race for Texas governor slogs on. I saw two public opinion polls this week that filled me with conflicting emotions. A CBS News poll said Republican Gov. Greg Abbott is holding onto an eight-point lead over Democratic challenger Beto O'Rourke. I want O'Rourke to win and I want Abbott to pay for his hideous performance in fighting the immigration crisis, the COVID crisis, gun violence and the energy crisis.
