There is a road, but no highway. Just a 40-45 MPH street.

The other side's consistent ad hominem attacks on Angela Hunt, a blatant attempt to divert attention from the actual issue, should be enough to push anyone to vote "Yes". If that sort of personal attack is what it takes to motivate you, though, call the billion-dollar tollway in a floodway "The Tom Leppert Plan". Or better yet, "The Rosewood Plan".

WHAT?!?!?! that makes absolutely no sense. actually, that sounds strikingly similar to the arguments you are criticizing because it is completely independent of worthwhile facts. No one should vote either way based on non-information you have received from one side. To clarify, Leppert/council/etc attacking Angela Hunt may be inappropriate but that does not make Angela right or wrong, it just makes the argument childish. |

I say the same thing for nearly everyone on the No side, can't think of one I really respected before the campaign, starting with Go To Hell Kirk through the present council. Especially the suburb cities passing resolutions in support, what a bunch of parasites. The big question is whether the Vote No pavers will let Laura Miller out of her cage for the watch party, now that she can't do any more damage. There's probably a line item on the No campaign finance report for her house arrest.

That's the point -- making the election about a particular personality is childish. The thing is, one side is making it about Angela... the other side is making it about the issues. Sometimes, you can make a fair judgement about an issue by looking at the credibility of its supporters.

Actually most of the looney left is on board with the project. It is the ultra, ultra, super far China/Castro/Stalin left that's pushing this little number. Them and the pot smokers.

So, basically you voted along "party" lines when this issue was not split along republican nor democratic party lines? What do you think that says about you?

I went and voted around 4 pm downtown, was # 195. Women in the front said it was a slow but steady stream of people coming in to vote.

Most of the people I know voting yes are pretty conservative types (the kind who don't like spending $1.6 billion on a tollroad) and far from looney left.

Well if Rosewood can do it. . . Taken from the following Dallas " Managed" News article: http://www.dallasnews.com/sharedcon....1e378687c.html Turnout was mixed in North Dallas, with some polling places seeing only a handful of people trickle in while other sites like Ridgecrest Baptist predicting turnout as high as 20 percent. Of five people interviewed leaving that polling spot, Ms. Hunt's side enjoyed a four to one advantage.

I don't think this has been a "left"/"right" issue.
I do think that the southern sector will surprise people. I'll be at Gilly's tonight if anyone wants me. The rest of y'all, have fun at the MAC and have one for me. (besides, I know who bought the booze and it's just plain ole run-of-the-mill Yellow Tail Shiraz.....at least I'll be able to enjoy a good glass of good hooch...heh heh heh) |

Voted No!
Gas was much cheaper in 1998 when I first went to the poll to approve the tollroad. Thanks Angela, I had to spend more money to go back to do the same thing all over again.
I support Dallas residents first; by improving traffic in a much needed area of town rather than trying to show off a new toy to outsiders. Hopefully the Vote Yes folks will not whine about a confusing ballot this time around and leave well enough alone. |

New report shows details of early voting. These districts show the margin AGAINST and equal the total margin of rough 2200. I guessed looking at precinct maps.
- S Dallas and W Dallas not a factor in EV - Big hits in Preston Hollow & environs and an area north of Lake Highlands to 635. - Also negative north of NW highway along 75 - Turtle Creek Blvd - Surprisingly Uptown -274 1148-5169 Northpark Mall -179 1800-5323 Far North between Preston & Tollway -178 1135-5150 Under 635 between Preston & 75 -101 1209-5188 Across from Northpark Mall -80 1146-5167 Across NW Highway east of Preston -74 1147-5168 Across NW Highway east of Preston -65 1811-5340 Far north west of Coit -65 1812-5341 Far north west of Coit -62 1115-5122 W Tollway, S of Royal -60 2208-5471 North of White Rock, near 635 -56 3536-5856 67 & Loop 12 -54 1141-5162 East of Tollway, N of Walnut Hill -53 3302-5696 On East 30 near Jim Miller -52 4436-6100 N Oak Cliff near 30 -51 3539-5861 67 & Loop 12 -48 1805-5331 Far north, east of Preston -47 2206-5469 N Lake Highlands near 635 -44 1119-5126 Preston Hollow -44 1803-5329 Near tollway furthest north -43 1802-5328 Near tollway furthest north -42 1124-5134 N Lake Highlands near 635 -42 2207-5470 N Lake Highlands near 635 -42 2209-5472 N of NW Highway near 635 -40 3529-5846 67/35E split -39 1202-5177 Uptown -39 1234-5228 Just S of HP -38 4437-6102 N Oak Cliff on 30 -37 1201-5175 West Inwoos/S NW Highway -35 1123-5133 East of 75 on Royal -35 1200-5174 Oaklawn -34 1137-5153 East of tollway, N of Walnut Hill -34 1138-5154 Preston Hollow -34 1816-5347 Valley View Mall -34 4401-6045 SW corner of Dallas |
