Come Tuesday I'll be doing my part for Senator Clinton here in Central TX. The Austin paper has been pretty blatantly biased in favor of Obama, but today's letters to the editors section contained a number of messages praising Clinton. Very unexpectedly, the (50,000) UT student paper endorsed Clinton, but of course no mention of this appeared in the Austin paper.
Also, the county I live in, adjacent to Austin's Travis, has raised twice as much money for Clinton as for Obama, even though we're home to a large university which, predictably, is Obama territory. Around neighbors and acquaintances (we're new here), I've learned to keep my mouth shut about my Clinton advocacy; I quickly learned that not favoring Obama was being interpreted as latent racism. The latter is not a good omen.
