Texas isn't really a Republican state. That's a start. In '04, there was at least one post that actually said they thought Kerry could win Texas.
I realise it can be frustrating living in a Republican state -- I lived in Indiana for a brief period and I lived in Colorado Springs (which, while not a state was arguably the most conservative mid-sized city in the north in the early 90's -- Focus on the Family was headquartered there at the time. I think they still are.)
But people need to face the facts, Texas IS a republican state and you need look no further than their elected state officials or the polling for this years governors race. This 'primary' is just further proof that Texas is a bastion of the republican party.
