State major parties almost bankrupt

In today's Dallas Morning News, there was a front-page article about the pathetic financial state of Texas's major-party organizations; the Texas GOP is in debt and the Texas DP has about $8000 in the bank. The paper offered little analysis, so here's mine: Texans are sick of the two major parties, recognizing that they don't do much for us (perhaps thanks to Kinky Friedman), so they're not sending their money that way anymore. This should be an opportunity for us to make some gains, maybe just getting a larger frustration vote.
