Born and raised a bleeding blue blood Kennedy Latino Democrat. Then I moved out, went to college and woke the hell up. First a Conservative Republican now a Conservative Independent.

I converse with people here too and most of them vote Democratic because that's how it's done. I've also lived in several other states and it's no different.

You need to hang with a better group of Republicans.

You are partially correct. A huge number of voters voted against the slime ball in the white house and view Wendy Davis as his proxy. So they viewed Wendy as a slime ball just like Liar Obama. In their minds they were voting against a corrupt Obama, not for Abbot.

Honestly, I think women don't trust other women who have fake boobs. Also, she was born in RI, not Texas.

Well Texas has about 38% of the population latino/hispanic and the largest segement across all ethnicities/races is women....and they rejected wendy davis. Yes, that is Texas.

So, try again.

And he wouldn't be the first and won't be the last. Your point? People don't vote Republican in MA just because that's the way it's done. They do so because they're angry, want a change and low voter turnout among dems is also to blame. See the difference? Obviously people there aren't as partisan as they are in Texas...that was my point.
