A political campaign is like a bad marriage. It goes on and on and on, with all sorts of shouting and accusations, and then, suddenly, it’s over. And everyone is relieved, even if they got screwed in the settlement.

All of which means we’re going to hear a lot of junk in the final 10 days of this campaign — gossip, wrong information, and disinformation. You’ll hear the Vote No! side, through their propaganda organs (Dallas’ Only Daily Newspaper and plastic surgery’s favorite local magazine), talk about dissension on the anti-toll road side, how it’s having a difficult time raising money, how the momentum has swung to the pro-toll road side, and the like. That’s what happened during the petition drive, when D and The News were reporting, as late as the the day the petitions were due, that TrinityVote didn’t have enough signatures.
