I know what you are saying is true. It is just that I spent my first 13 years in El Paso and places like Lubbock were always out east to me!

Translation: Dumbasses will defend their handouts to farmers at the expense of the Republican majority in the US House.

No, "West Texas" begins about 150 to 200 miles NORTH of El Paso.

Sounds like "fuzzy geography" to me! LOL!

Yeah, but the idea is they have 3 congressmen right now who represent parts of W. Tx, and must therefore defend the region's interest. Personally, I'm OK with that, as long as they're willing to trade away some conservative parts of their district in exchange for some of Stenholm's district--giving the 17th to a Republican.

Actually, West, TX is near Waco.

Lubbock is definitely better than Amarillo. Lubbock is still like a small town (I love Lubbock - home of Mac Davis) while Amarillo is like a very small big city.
