The filing deadline for the State of Texas passed yesterday.  Those of us who back the 100% strategy of contesting every race were stressing over the multiple Congressional races which appeared to have no Democratic candidate.  The Texas Democratic Party has a list of all Democratic candidates who filed in Texas.  31 of 32 Congressional districts have a Democrat running, an improvement over the 4 uncontested GOP seats in 2004.  Only Mike Conaway (TX-11) is getting a free ride.  Considering that alot of those Democratic challengers are running against overwhelming odds, I think we ought to be very happy to see Democrats in the game almost everywhere.

For state districts, it doesn't look as good: about 39 out of 150 State House races and 6 out of 16 State Senate races have no Democrat.
