Meet The Next Governor Of Texas

[cali]

2. No. No democrat will win the governor's race next year. I live in the real world.

When LBJ was active in politics, democrats DOMINATED Texas politics.

When Ann Richards was active in politics, it was the tail end of that domination. Just who did she lose to, hmm?

Barack Obama lost Texas twice- by double digits.

This isn't Peter Pan. You can't just clap your hands and make Wendy Governor.

from the article in the op:

Hispanics have accounted for nearly 90 percent of Texas' population growth in recent years, meaning demographics may soon no longer be on Republicans' side - but the shift almost certainly won't come in time to affect next year's elections.

Speculation abounds at the possibility that Texas one day will become a swing state — or even a blue state. But if there is anything to learn from President Obama's performance on Election Day, it's that he wasn't nearly as strong in the state as in 2008. Texans supported Mitt Romney by wider margins than they supported U.S. Sen. John McCain four years ago.

Obama took one of the biggest dives in Travis County. In 2008, Obama won the county with 117,036 votes. In 2012, he again won the county, but with 92,037 votes, a 24,999-vote swing. In Tarrant County, a Republican stronghold, Romney netted 22,357 more votes than McCain did in 2008.

Yeah, Texas will turn blue, but demographic studies tell us that won't happen for at least 10 years.

Now you post some evidence that Texas will turn blue next year.
