The Texas Tribune Festival runs this weekend right here at The University of Texas at Austin, with a bunch of panels featuring a bunch of people talking about a bunch of political things. You can get a snoutful of particulars directly from the Tribune’s promotion machine. While we’re sure all the moderators have been appropriately briefed, we’ve annotated some of the panels with relevant polling results from Texas. Have fun at the fest (or watching it online).
