It was the big news immediately after the 2012 Presidential election: some of Pres. Barack Obama's top campaign generals were on their way to Texas to turn the solidly conservative state into a purple state – and eventually a Democratic stronghold.

Battleground Texas leader Jeremy Bird was grilled on the plan by Comedy Central's Stephen Colbert:

But for every Texas Democrat who got excited about what changes could lie ahead, there's a Republican who wants to make sure that doesn't happen.

Conservatives started by giving their prediction for what "turning Texas blue" would mean for the state: doom and gloom – higher taxes and fewer jobs– as forecast by Sen. John Cornyn and his side project Keep It Red.

1. I never understood

why they had to announce such things. Couldn't they work really hard behind the scenes instead of giving the enemy their plan? I wonder sometimes....
