and it's anyone's guess as to how many cross-over voters there are since we can just cross-over for the primary, we don't have to register in the other party to request the ballot. I would guess quite a few given the voucher issue.

For those who may read this and aren't Texan - a big issue this year is school vouchers & Abbott's hand-picked challengers to run against anti-voucher folks (who he generously funded vis a vie his billionaire pro-voucher friends). Not all anti-voucher folks are republicans, and there are districts dems will not win here because the numbers are just not strong enough yet. So, keeping out those hand-selected pro-voucher folks is key, even if we have to cross over and vote for the moderate republicans in the primary to do it.
