I wanted to discuss the ...You beat me to the punch. I wanted to discuss the effect of chaos theory and the butterfly effect on the outcome (final count of 16 vote lead for the Dem), about the fact that it was game day on the Saturday that the CTRA blockwalked in HD 48 and the only one to show up from the CTRA to walk was me with my helpful 11 year old and my not so helpful 9 year old in tow. We touched the least number of doors and talked to the least number of people of the four house district blockwalks which the CTRA participated in.<br /><br />What if we had walked a full rather than half day? What if it had been just me and my 11 year old. What if we had had one or two other CTRA Members or Friends participating? What if Dan Neil's team had chosen a more fruitful neighborhood to walk? What if a "voter butterfly" had been flapping its wings far or near?<br /><br />It does not matter now, at least not until next time when we have the chance to do it again and perhaps win by 1, 10, 100 or 1000 or more votes. Ahh, that would be sweet chaos in Travis County.Freedom Ain't Freehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06093883001808491584noreply@blogger.com
