Texas Progressive Alliance Round-Up January 28

It’s Monday, and that means it is time for another edition of the Texas Progressive Alliance’s weekly blog Round-Up. This week’s edition is compiled by Vince from Capitol Annex, with thanks to Charles from Off The Kuff for assistance.

Off the Kuff looks at the woes of the Harris County GOP and what it may mean in November.

North Texas will have one less class II commercial injection well pumping toxic soup underground. Reported by TXsharon on Bluedaze.

Hal at Half Empty got his TI-83 out and ran the numbers on the Presidential Primaries. Conclusion? Texas has a chance to crown a king (or queen).

The action plan for Monday’s FISA-with-telecom-immunity legislation is contained in PDid’s post at Brains and Eggs. Don’t strain your dialing finger, and don’t forget to
call Senators Corndog and Hutch. It’s a waste of time, yes, but they still need to hear from us.

NYTexan at BlueBloggin explains who Voters, Pledged Delegates and Super Delegates are and how they influence the democratic party nomination at the convention.
