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.
