12. If the Dems would just concentrate on Texas

If we could turn Texas, the Repugs would not win an election for the next 20 years.

The large cities in Texas lean Dem. Only the rural areas go Repug. And as the latino vote grows in Texas, the repugs are digging their own graves.

I wish the Dems could get more organized in Texas. Go for the Governor and Senate seats with celebrities. Go the Arnold type candidate. Pick a Hollywood Liberal from Texas and run them as a moderate.

One state... and it would be all over. You could say the same thing for Florida, but I think the northern area of that state is as redneck as it comes...
