Texas ain't quite as red as it used to be.
No state is as red as it used to be. It's only a matter of time until the whole country is blue. But remember though that state elections are not like national ones with the electoral college. A candidate does not receive all of the Houston votes, all the San Antonio votes, etc just because those cities are predominantly blue. I live just outside Houston in Fort Bend County and cannot vote in their elections; but my area is conservative. Also, Annise Parker was elected Houston mayor over a slate of loser candidates.
