Texas Liberal is a blog of politics and political history.
Additional focuses of the blog are books, art, poetry, personal relationships and, also, sea life and marine mammals.
I live in Houston, Texas and I do sometimes write about political issues in Houston and in Texas.
I also often write about my former hometown of Cincinnati, and about the great beach city of Galveston, Texas.
I define liberalism as a role for government in the economy, and a broad acceptance of people regardless of who they are.
This is why it says “All People Matter” at the top of the blog.
A blog grows one reader at a time. If you like what you read here, please consider forwarding the link.
Texas Liberal began regular posting on July 25, 2006.
I also blog at the Houston Chronicle as one of eight featured political bloggers, and on Where’s The Outrage? which posts out of North Carolina.

Thanks for reading Texas Liberal.
The painting is an unfinished portrait of a man by John Singleton Copley. This work was created in the 1770’s.
Mr. Copley lived 1738 -1815. He lived in Boston until 1774. He left for Europe at that point. The timing of his move might provide some sense of what Mr. Copley thought of political changes in Boston leading up to 1776.
Since you are on the ground in TX, I was wondering if you could give me an idea of of who has got the edge in your state? Forget about the polls. Can you see if one side has more energy or is out organizing the other?
Evan–Thanks for the question. It feels to me that the energy is with Obama. Maybe that is just because I was in an arena of Obama supporters, but I do know that Obama set up an office in Cincinnati at least a week before Hillary did. Maybe the young people for Obama create that sense of energy. Or maybe it is all the wins across the nation. But my feeling is that Obama is on the upswing here in Texas.
