Dallas is pretty conservative if one includes the many suburban adjuncts. Even Dallas city limits went for Bush.
I compared it with Texas in general. Of course it is not like Austin which is its own little place. Yes Dallas is a conservative place in most comparisons. I am amused that Mr. K decided to do his hit on the probably 2nd least incompatible (to him) town in Texas. If he had actually thought to have some political influence he would have held up that audience as the shining example of reason that Texans in general should emulate. I never gave K much credit for thinking, though.
