Most of you don't realize that Texas being a wholly Red state is pretty much a recent phenomenon, like since the mid 90's, and the transformation didn't really have that much to do with the state as it did with a few main players and the Republican party. Didn't work out all that well, Texas had been wholly Democratic or nearly so for more than 100 years, and it just might be that you are seeing the beginning of a transformation back to center. Think most are going to find out that the majority of people don't like a political system that goes to the extreme in either direction, but one that stays pretty much to the center and one that works!
