Texas was yellow dog demonrat back then. Didn't shift to the GOP until Reagan/Bush. Note that current Governor Perry was a demonrat who was part of Al Gore's quest for the presidency back in '88.

Re: '64 election. Didn't matter who the GOP ran. Charles Manson could have been the Dem nominee and won in a landslide based on JFK's memory/legacy.

“...52 electoral votes...”

All because of LBJ’s daisy-picking campaign ad. People were much more easily fooled in those days........oh, wait...
