. . . while in San Antonio, U.S. Rep. Ciro Rodriquez

. . . while in San Antonio, U.S. Rep. Ciro Rodriquez lost to Republican banker-lawyer Francisco "Quico" Canseco.

I love San Antonio!

While our city is better than 60 percent Latino, we vote our personal and our shared beliefs and our mutual interests . . . for the good of San Antonio. Block voting seldom works here. In city council elections, a predominantly Latino district is, depending upon the candidate's qualifications and campaign effort, just as likely to vote for an Anglo as they are to vote for a census-defined Hispanic. That's why his Latino laden district repeatedly voted for Bob Thompson to represent their community, and years afterwards elected Susan Radle.

Hope Charlie Gonzalez got the message. While he won with 60 percent of the vote, his Republican no-name opponent won 37 percent of the vote. Next time, Charlie, if you don't shape up, you're out. What would your Daddy say?

Remembering the San Antonio demographics I mentioned, the most stunning upset was local. No opposed Democratic judge won his or her reelection bid. Wow!

And once again, for a State-wide office, no Democrat won.

I love Texas.

I see the meds have finally kicked in for the Comical writers. Yet they STILL had to take pot shots at the end.

All the while Zero is whining on TV.

I love Texas too. We don’t like big government telling us what to do and how to live. That is why the RATS were given the boot. Many Latinos in Texax love their state and don’t want to see it turn into a liberal cesspool like CA.

I wish I could agree with you, but the demographics of Dallas County make it very difficult for Republicans to win now. Dallas County will be Democratic for some time.

Again you see the residual effects of the Katricians from NO. Ever so glad I don’t live in Dallas County. Taxpayers voting for a Democrat are like chickens voting for Col. Sanders.

Which is why inevitably the City of Dallas is going to wind up looking like Detroit.

I was happy to see Gov. GoodHair soundly beat Mayor BigEars.

We even came close to giving LLiberal LLoyd Dogsh!t a scare for awhile. The next goal should be to redistrict him out of existence.

I watched all these out-of-state plates fleeing to Texas this past year and wondered of these were conservatives fleeing their liberal hellholes or commielibs trying to expand their base. The results give me comfort that maybe most of them were conservatives looking for a fresh start in a conservative state (either that or the newbies hadn’t figured out yet how to register to vote).

Let’s re-draw Texas in our own image.

Does anyone know how the State Senate came out. There were 16 Senate seats up for election and the GOP held a 19 - 12 advantage going in. Did the seats remain as before or did any change parties so that the 19 -12 ratio changed? Does anyone know?

All incumbents won, and Dems kept their open seat, so the Senate remains 19-12. I don't think any of the races were too competitive. Now, the House is another story!

We need to get Strauss out of the Speaker position. He is a RHINO and already has come out with his Republican backers with 46 Democrats. With the Republican strength in Texas, we should not put up with a liberal in power. That is the road to Republican weakness and future defeat. Does anyone know how to put our two cents in on this?

Hoping that Pratt on Texas will have an answer. Listen on the internet at www.prattontexas.com if you don’t already. Great Texas news. He is a rabid conservative but he is fun to listen to and has the BEST Texas music clips between segments. AM790 out of Lubbock or AM 1470 out of Abilene. 5-7pm M-F

Thanks.......... I thought that maybe the case but couldn’t find it anywhere and I didn’t want to go thought the races one by one.

It really isn’t as bad as you think. Before conservatives took over the state, the only Republican anyone knew in Dallas county was Jim Collins in district 3. What is happening now is more of a hiccup in the longer scheme of things.

No relation, but Ted Cruz is someone I could certainly support if he runs for office.
