Naw, you just haven't explored the western and northern parts of the state enough! I extend an invitation for you to come visit me in West Texas! Bring the canines! They can play with mine! (unless you have chihuahuas -- my Weimaraner thinks it's her duty to chase down and retrieve chihuahuas, for some reason. LOL, I don't think she believes that they're dogs!) Seriously, West Texas is an excellent example of fiscal conservatism, progress and common sense. You'd be amazed at the number of wind farms we have here now!
I truly hope it doesn't turn blue. You know, I have a really good Texas friend who absolutely adores west Texas people and thinks they are the best in Texas.
I don't have little dogs, so yours and mine would get along very well. One is a Labrador Retriever and my other one, the Lab's daughter is part Lab and part Catahoula. That must be quite a site, retrieving Chihuahuas. If my Houla had a chance, she'd retrieve cats.
Conservatism and common sense....That's my "cup of tea," teatime. If I'm ever out your way, I might take you up on the offer.
I've lived in Texas 30 years and don't remember it being blue back then, but I could be wrong.
The commenter is probably referring to when Ann Richards was governor. But, heck, EVERYONE got a kick out of Ann Richards! She was a hoot! Only a one-termer, though.

She was quite a hoot, but I really did not care for her at all.
Wait..wait...WAIT! Let me make sure I have this right:
If you vote Republican, you're either:
1. uneducated redneck
2. successful, rich prick who only cares about him/herself
Does that sound about right? Should I add "racist" to each category as well?
Wrong. If you vote for a neo-con, you are one of those things--almost certainly, in fact. Republicans, on the other hand, are cool: I've voted for Republicans.

Y'all come! My Weimaraner would LOVE to play with other big doggies! My collie won't play with her -- he's a lazy sod, LOL. My silky terrier THINKS he's a big dog and tries to keep up with Morgan!
Seriously, if you're ever coming near the area, send me a DM.

Senator McCain certainly holds it by a smaller margin than President Bush did. Do you all have early voting? When does it start?
I live in Abilene. I don't think Obama has a chance here, but he might surprise us state-wide. Nearly everyone I know at church, at work, etc. is for McCain. However, at church Wednesday night, several of us were having coffee, and about 6 friends who have always voted Republican were talking about "probably" switching to McCain. Their primary reason was because of the Palin pick for VP. I just listened. They all know I am a Democrat.

Texas has been red for about 28 years. Prior to that, a Republican couldn't buy an office in this state. However, the Democratic party was divided into a moderate wing and a liberal wing. With the Reagan revolution, the moderate wing moved to the Republican party, and it was the larger, dominant wing of the Democratic party. We have been red ever since. To remember all those blue years, you have to be my age.
