Tal has a big up against crockett that will play big come the general election here in Texas.

Talerico is a white male. Crockett isn't. This is Texas we are talking about and, as disappointing it is to say, it will play a massive role in an already uphill battle. He's just more electable at face value for that fact alone.

I like both candidates, tal gets the edge for his funding methods to be sure, but the electability argument is a big one when you are talking about a Senate seat that hasn't been held by a dem since LBJ.
