Republicans to knock on area doors this weekend

The primary's over. Time for Texas Republicans to start rallying the troops for November.

They start Saturday, when Texas Victory, the state GOP's coordinated election effort, will hold "Walk to Win" events around the state.

Here's the plan: volunteers will drive to assigned neighborhoods, knock on the doors of of people who voted Republican in 2004 or 2006, wait for said door to open, and ask, "so...are you still a Republican?"

"By gathering this information now, our Party and our individual candidates will be able to run more effective and efficient [Get out the vote] efforts in the fall," according to a GOP Party press release.

Weatherford car dealer and former secretary of state Roger Williams, who now heads Victory 2008, will be joining the grassroots walkers at the Tarrant County Republican headquarters in Fort Worth, bright and early at 8 a.m.

Then on Tuesday, he'll be in Arlington for a Texas Victory 2008 organizational meeting.
