Mark DavisHOST
It means that Governor Gina Hinojosa is okay with you.
Mark DavisHOST
It means that Lieutenant Governor Vicki Goodwin is, is okay with you.
Mark DavisHOST
And if, and if, if in hearing that you go, "No, but those things aren't okay, those things aren't okay," well, then it's, it's, it's, it's a logic puzzle.
Mark DavisHOST
Hello.
Roland MartinHOST
You got county judge Elisa Simmons, uh, running, uh, in, for Tarrant County judge.
Roland MartinHOST
You got the sister running for DA in Tarrant County, a sister running for Harris County judge, uh, a brother running for Fort Bend County Judge, uh, and then of course, statewide races, Gina Hinojosa against Greg Abbott, Vicky Goodwin against Dan Pat- Patrick for lieutenant governor.
Roland MartinHOST
Folks, we could actually, uh, break the Republican, uh, control in Texas.
Roland MartinHOST
Early voting October 19th through October 30th.
Jasper SchererGUEST
Yeah, thanks for having me.
David BrownHOST
Well, now, let's get started with a headline that I saw in The Texas Tribune this week, quoting here, "Outspent and unknown Democrat Vikki Goodwin gives Lieutenant Governor Dan Patrick his toughest race yet." Close quote.
David BrownHOST
Uh, gotta ask, how likely is an upset in the lieutenant governor's race?
Jasper SchererGUEST
Yeah, this is, I, I would say, one of those races that's kinda been overshadowed by the, the US Senate contest.
David BrownHOST
Yeah.
Jasper SchererGUEST
And part of why I say that is because the polling still shows that nearly half of the likely electorate still doesn't even know about Dan Patrick's Democratic challenger, State Rep Vikki Goodwin.
David BrownHOST
Mm-hmm.
Jasper SchererGUEST
And that's, even with that, however, there, we've seen some polls trickling out that show this as essentially a, a neck-and-neck race, just right in line with the, the Senate race.
Chris TomlinsonGUEST
We have Gina Hinojosa tied with Greg Abbott.
Chris TomlinsonGUEST
We have Vicki Goodwin, uh, running for lieutenant governor, uh, you know, a hair ahead of Dan Patrick.
Arnie ArnesenHOST
Dan Patrick? Oh my gosh.
Chris TomlinsonGUEST
Um, you know, we have the re- the Democrat running for attorney general is a hair ahead of the Republican.
Jason WhiteleyHOST
The Texas Politics Project at UT Austin did the survey.
Jason WhiteleyHOST
Democrats James Tallarico, Gina Hinojosa, Vicki Goodwin, Nathan Johnson, and John Rosenthal, all with narrow leads in this poll within the margin of error.
Jason WhiteleyHOST
Don Huff finds the only Republican ahead of his opponent in the race for comptroller.
Jason WhiteleyHOST
Keep in mind, polls do not predict winners.
Chris KrokHOST
She, there, she ain't gonna come anywhere near, uh, Greg Abbott.
Chris KrokHOST
Uh, D- Democrat Vikki Goodwin, who you could not, you could...
Chris KrokHOST
I don't advocate hurting anybody, but you could put a gun to every Texan's head, and you'd be lucky to find 1% of Texans to know who the hell Vikki Godwin is, but she supposedly leads.
Chris KrokHOST
Our s- our most powerful politician in the state is actually Lieutenant Governor Dan Patrick.
Jim CardleHOST
That's true.
Lynn WoolleyHOST
If the Republicans are not under-sampled or if the Republicans are refusing to participate in the polls, w- then, then who knows? But my goodness, Vicki Goodwin?
Jim CardleHOST
Yeah.
Lynn WoolleyHOST
Who's Vicki Goodwin? Who the hell is Vicki Goodwin? I'll say it like Trump.
Lynn WoolleyHOST
Who the hell is Vicki Goodwin?
Jim CardleHOST
Well, that's a good point.
Jim CardleHOST
I don't think-
11 MINS LATER
Jim CardleHOST
[laughs]
Patrick OsbornHOST
And so I, uh, because I look at some of these...
Patrick OsbornHOST
Some of the polling I, I, I just don't buy, like Vicky Goodwin claiming that she's up three points over Dan Patrick, you know? I, I, I just don't see that as being a, a legitimate poll.
Patrick OsbornHOST
However, if you get enough people showing up because they want to vote for James Talarico, they see a D next to every candidate, they'll go ahead and vote, that could actually bode well for somebody like Goodwin.
Patrick OsbornHOST
Uh, but you know, again, this is...
Patrick OsbornHOST
Y- you've got a whole...
Patrick OsbornHOST
Gina Hinojos, Vicky Goodwin, there are a lot of these candidates out there that the polls say are topping their, their Republican, you know, opponents, but, and they're completely light on any sort of substance when it comes to what they're actually going to do.
Todd JeffriesHOST
That's a good point.
Patrick OsbornHOST
It's very, very partisan out there.
Josh BlankHOST
Yeah
Jim HensonHOST
... uh, Vicki Goodwin 49, Dan Patrick 46.
Jim HensonHOST
Um, you know, we'll unpack that almost immediately.
Jim HensonHOST
And then on the mid ballot, you know, we have a lot of other results that we'll come to, but you know, the short story, all of those races, uh, within about one point, uh, in the ones that we, that we did poll, and we didn't do every single statewide race, as I was reminded in a text right before I came on.
