11:35am: Presser concludes 35 minutes after it started, with Scott continuing to take a few questions regarding school closings in a smaller gaggle of the press corps. 11:34am: The additional concern about this virus is that it's a strain unseen in the US before (a hybrid strain of avian, swine and traditional influenza). Since our... 12:35am: As the Senate continues into the early morning hours, I'm retiring to get a little shut eye. Senators will NOT vote tonight, they plan to take their first vote on this after they return tomorrow, a time which has yet to be determined. I'm going to go out on a limb and guess Voter ID passes on a vote of 19-12 (the R to D split in the Senate). 11:59pm: We've wandered into whether Gerry Hebert stole maps from the redistricting room. Hebert says he never took any maps. And as the clock strikes midnight, Senators take a break to allow a change out of stenographers. I t...
12:19pm: Wraps up at 12:19pm, a full 48 minutes after he started. Individual first name drops include: Senfronia, Boogie, Jerry, Hope, John, Chuy, John and Phil. More coverage tonight at five and six. Thanks for joining us. 12:18pm: "And reap that harvest we shall...and we shall reap it together." A reference to and twist on scripture by Perry's speechwriters. 12:14pm: Wants DPS funding to go back into general revenue, to help pay for infrastructure. 12:11pm: >> Continue reading: Attempting to Liveblog a Livestream of the State of the State WATCH the HOUSE live here, watch the SENATE live here. 1:51pm: About to adjourn... more later! 1:44pm: Governor Rick Perry now at the dais. "The first day of session is a beautiful thing," he says. "It's like a blank canvas." Perry reflects on his time in the House for a minute, then tells members that his door will be open to them. 1:34pm: "Let there be no walls in this House," Speaker Straus concludes. "... First, an update on the shenanigans. An aide to State Rep. Joe Straus says Straus will lay out more than 80 names of his supporters sometime this evening. Stay tuned for the list. Meanwhile, the current speaker is hunkering down with his top supporters in Austin tonight. At a steakhouse. Get it, steak out? (Groan.) I'm mobilizing microblogging site Twitter to help keep up with the comings-and-goings at Speaker Craddick's strategy meeting. Check back or follow me at www.twitter.com/elisewho for updates starting at around 6:30pm. (Ed note: These are from Sunday night, live tweets are no longer updating w...
Shoulder-to-shoulder at the Dems victory party at the Driskill. I think it's about 84 degrees in there with 90% humidity. So you can imagine what it feels like. But no one's down... with each projection for Obama, the room gets so loud it shakes.
Of course, CNN recently called Texas for McCain. That led to a pretty collective boo in here. ...I'm camped out at The Driskill where Democratic candidates are going to be tonight. My colleague Clara Tuma is holding down the fort at the Four Seasons, where the GOP candidates will watch returns. I'll liveblog in reverse chronological order - most recent posts up top. ***Remember to refresh if you're staying on the page*** 8:18pm: Okay things are going to get rough and wild from this point forward, so I will update with new posts instead of individual updates on this one post. Thanks for staying with us so far... stick around. 8:12pm: It took us forever, but we ... First, KVUE.com will stream the debate live. Meanwhile I'll be liveblogging mini-analysis here on this page with the help of Twitter. For anyone who's unfamiliar, Twitter enables people to microblog updates of whatever they're doing or thoughts that come across their minds with posts of 140 characters or less. Anyone on Twitter can communicate/comment on other people's observations with a simple tag. Twitter will enable me to liveblog tonight without having to constantly republishing the blog. Only the ten most recent "mini-post... 9:23pm: I'm gonna shut this thing down for now. The dog total at the Montford party has dwindled to two. There haven't been any dogs here at the Lehmberg party, but Lehmberg did mention that one of the first things she's going to do now that she's won is hang out with her puppy. 9:21pm: Crowd at the Lehmberg party is still strong. We're in line for a Lehmberg interview but it may have to be after our live hit on the Nightbeat. 9:16pm: Lehmberg's campaign manager said Mindy called, but the two candidates haven't actually spoken to each other yet. Leh... 6:08pm: We must peace out in order to work on the news package for the 10pm newscast. So I'll end the liveblog part of this day and update on the numbers in fresh posts. Thanks for playin'! 6:05pm: This room looks so empty now that all the delegates are gone... but tabulation continues. The remaining folks still have to vote on various resolutions. There were at least 50 submitted from the precinct caucuses. 5:10pm: I'm off to catch a few more delegates for interviews and knock out a liveshot for the 6pm news. Will check back in about an hour. ... |
