To be objective, both sides have posted dubious threads.
Take off your blinders and look.
And your comments equating Obama to socialism is not worth addressing since obviously you do not really understand what a true socialist state entails.
Enough speaking to you.
The last time a Democrat won Texas in a Presidential election was Jimmy Carter in 1976. So I guess I can see why Nobama supporters would think he has a chance in Texas, because he's pretty much Jimmy Carter Part 2.
Obama could win in San Antonio if the Latino's would get out and vote. SA is about 50-60% Latino and about 20% African American... the rest of us are gringo's. The Latino's are not wild about Obama... they loved Hillary but most do not care for McCain and his politics so they will most likely vote for Obama but alot won't vote at all.

So, there's San Antonio, Austin, the Valley....
That would be something.

"Only 33.6 percent of Latino Protestant registered voters plan to vote for Republican presidential nominee John McCain (http://christianpost.com/topics/John_McCain - broken link) compared to 50.4 percent for Democrat Barack Obama (http://christianpost.com/topics/Barack_Obama - broken link), according to a survey, sponsored by the National Hispanic Christian Leadership Conference, Faith in Public Life, and other groups.
This 17 point difference favoring Obama represents a dramatic shift from 2004 when President George W. Bush solidly won the Latino Protestant vote, securing 63 percent of its support" Source

The way people are commenting on Chron.com and talking to many in Houston (not to mention Obama yard signs in Sugar Land of all places) I'm starting to think Houston also.

Frankly, I'm surprised McCain would get 33 percent of the Latino vote -- I thought it would be lower than that. But, gee, do you think that Bush being a Texan would have anything to do with the 17-point difference?

It is lower than that. I hope the final vote reflects it's even lower than the numbers from the Pew Report as well as CNN's numbers which showed Senator Obama over 70%.
