moved here for my husband's job some time ago. We live in an area with a lot of moderates - so much so that we were jerrymandered into south Houston so our democratic votes didn't endanger the good ole boys in certain areas east of us. Ron Paul's old stomping grounds ... My guess based on their frantic gerrymandering is that they are damned worried.

They will keep fighting hard for their utopian Christian nationalism, though, so I think it will take some time and a lot of work to turn Texas blue. I think it has been pretty much written off by the dem party lately (as far as national level strategy, I know local dems work hard), and that can't continue if people really want change.
