Which candidate will win your city/town? (Houston, Dallas: buy, school)

[ChristieP]

Tarrant county will also go Romney.

[Texas Liberal]

Romney will win both Ector(Odessa) and Midland counties easily. I voted already and there were mostly just republicans and libertarians on the ballot. I know that this area is very red, but it is like the local democrats don't even try any more.

[loves2read]

Why is someone even asking this question
Outside Austin and a few precincts in the larger metro area or deep valley Romney will will
Local area races between Dems and Republicans can be closer==we have one in the DFW area
But of course Romney will take TX
That is why Obama hasn't been here for any protracted electioneering -- this is not a purple state...

I think he'll take it by a margin similar to Bush. I'm shocked there were 109,047 Obama voters in 2008.

Granted, Romney doesn't have favorite son status like Bush, but Obama's presidency has really shaken up the far-right base. I see far more Romney stickers and lawn signs than I saw McCain stickers and signs back in 2008.

Atascosa County:
Romney 60%
Yomama 39%
Toker Johnson 1%

Just for perspective, the 2008 election results:



I predict we will see more blue this year.

Obama carried Houston in 2008, as he did in most of the big cities in Texas so it will be interesting to see how it plays out this time.

Texas is inching closer toward a 50/50 split and being named a swing state. In 2008 McCAin only won 55.45% of the vote and with so many new transplants to Texas the last 4 years who knows if thhat gap will close or remain the same.

So, who do you see winning your city/town?

Bumper stickers are irrelevant, especially this year. The acrimony between the parties has been so extreme and offensive. I have no intention of making my car a target for political extremists.

For many of us, if we own a home, our automobile is more then likely the second most valuable possession we have. Why make it a target for drive by vandalism?

Probably Barry unfortunately

Bumper stickers are absoLUTEly irrelevant. Most of the ones I see don't even have a year on them. How many folks bearing Obama stickers do you think just put them on this year as opposed to having left them on from 2008? Doesn't necessarily mean their support hasn't shifted...

Why would you think you would see more blue? By all accounts he will not be getting as many votes as last time.
