OBAMA 2012 ALL THE WAY TEXAS TURNING TRUE BLUE THIS YEAR YEAH!!! HATERS FALL WAY BACK!

[DavyCrockettFan1]

That's like saying that New York will turn red. Get real.

[privatepadilla]

It's not quite like saying New York will turn "Red"...

Texas wasn't a "Red" state for all that long.

And...

Every district located within one of Texas' major metropolitan areas is "Blue" Having favored Obama over McCain in 08' elections.

[DavyCrockettFan1]

Um, Arkansas WENT BLUE TO RED in 2010. Blanche Lincoln lost by about 20 points, a LANDSLIDE ! Yes, Kentucky has a Dem. governor, however Rand Paul won in 2010 for Senator with an 11 point victory. Obama has not raised 1 billion dollars YET, but is expected to, however Mitt Romney is also expected to. I hope you realized now that Clinton did not win Texas. Also, why do you like Obama ?

[LiLXza1]

jus like Arkansas turn red to blue in 2010 during the mid-term elections it can happen to texas also the won will democrats have governorships they won last in Kentucky a red state not blue so yea it can and obama and will happen plus obama and the grassroots democrats raised 1 billion dollars

[DavyCrockettFan1]

Ok, well tell your friend that he/she is dead wrong...you can look it up yourself. Also, if a state can have a repub. gov. and turn blue, I guess a state can have a dem. gov. and turn red, right ? I'm only throwing your own words back at you. Texas will not turn red. Also, may I ask you why you like Obama ?

[LiLXza1]

first off all at my school one of the students that was in student government told me bill clinton won texas and california is democrat they are not turning red they have a democrat governors and the home of the second speaker over the house ms. nacy so yeah a state can be still turn blue and have a republican governor

[DavyCrockettFan1]

First off, before you lecture someone on political history, you should know that Clinton NEVER won Texas, but that Carter was the last Democrat to win Texas in a presidential election back in 1976. However, Bush 41 won California back in 1988, so according to you I guess California is turning red this year. Also, like I said before cities ALWAYS go Democrat. And Governor Perry beat his Democrat challenger by about 12 points which is a LANDSLIDE in politics. You should do your history.

[LiLXza1]

first off if u do your history u would know texas use to be blue long time ago til it start of switching from blue to red in the the 50s-94 was the last time t was blue and bill clinton won texas and turn it blue his second term but not the cafirst and so will barack obama the state capital austin texas is blue the heart of texas ths half way blue now once ago we almost came close in 2010 to having a democrat governor bill white former mayor of a democrat city houston texas

[DavyCrockettFan1]

The thing is, Democrats virtually ALWAYS win the big cities, that's NOT a surprise. Texas is one of the biggest Republican strongholds. It is by no means a battleground state. Even Obama's campaign realizes that. Also, do you REALLY think that Romney will lose ANY of the states that McCain won in '08 ? I highly doubt that.

[LiLXza1]

Texas just turned into a battleground state.

In 2008 Barrack won the big cities in Texas -- Houston, Beaumont, El Paso, Austin, Brownsville, San Antonio, Larado, Dallas, + others, & 25 counties on the Texas/Mexico border.

And now minorities make up over 50% of the population here.

It will be close but Barrack definitely can win now!
