Wayne Slater on an "unprecedented partnership".
The Dallas Morning News and the state's four other major newspapers have joined to conduct a series of polls for the 2010 statewide political races in Texas.
It's the first time the state's top five newspapers have cooperated in such an effort. The joint polls will begin before the March primaries, surveying the already-heated race for governor and other statewide offices.
The unprecedented partnership includes The Dallas Morning News, the Austin American-Statesman, Fort Worth Star-Telegram, Houston Chronicle, and San Antonio Express-News.
