(36,974 posts)1. The reason Texas is blue on the map
There are more 7-11s found our big cities than in the rural towns.
In the 2008 election Obama won the majority of our biggest cities/counties: Austin/Travis, Dallas/Dallas, Houston/Harris, San Antonio, El Paso etc.
McCain won Ft Worth (which is big) and the majority of the rural towns.
It's great that their cup poll is accurate and President Obama is in the lead, but it's not very scientific and doesn't really represent a 'whole state' like Texas.

At least with who they're displaying as opponents. Bush faced Gore in '00, not '04 ... that was Kerry!

I saw the photo flip, but only registered it as being somehow "weird" without actually identifying why. Then I was lust too lazy to figure out what I was really looking at. Pathetic, lol.
Good catch, DI.

According to Rev. Al Sharpton, this has been a reliable predictor in the last few elections.
