Showdown in Texas! Hillary Clinton vs Barack Obama
Dallas, Texas- Senator, Democratic Presidential Nominee “hopeful”, Barack Hussein Obama, draws 20,000 people, to Reunion Arena in Downtown Dallas.
Texas is normally friendly to the Clintons, so no doubt Hillary would have drawn the same size crowd(s) (in both Houston and Dallas), had she campaigned in Texas. But at stake, is both Ohio and Texas. So while Chelsie Clinton campaigned in Texas, Senator Hillary Clinton, campaigned in Ohio, to somewhat smaller crowds.
But then, there is tomorrow night!
From Austin, Texas. A debate!
A “Shoot Out”, with Senator Hillary Rodum Clinton at one end of town,
and the Great Orator of the Democrats,
Senator Barack Hussien Obama at the other end of town;
in what is shaping up to be the first Real “Texas Showdown”
we’ve seen around here in a long time.
In deed, the two Democratic Senators will “Shoot it Out” in a Democratic Presidential Nomination debate in Austin, Texas on the University of Texas campus at Austin (UTA), in the LBJ (Lyndon Baynes Johnson) Auditorium, starting at “Sun Down” (7:00pm CDT). Well ok, so shoot outs in Texas usally happen at High Noon. But hey, times have changed and now there is nothing like gnawing on the bones of the dead before bedtime.
And what a feast this is gonna be as Senator Barack Hussien Obama comes riding into town on Black Stallion, very much like Zorro, to Save the villagers from the oppressive federal government.
And Senator Hillary Rodum Clinton? Well, I think she’s coming in on a bus as campaign funds have dried up to little more than a mud hole. Well, that’s how it goes out here is the west. One day your ridin high, and the next, your over-run by those who would have you to “change”.
At any rate, there’s a New Sheriff in town folks! And his name, is Barack Obama.
Nevertheless, tomorrow night’s showdown should be one for the record books. So don’t miss it! Thursday, 7:00pm, in Austin Texas.
