Bush win in the "People's Republic of Austin"?
A nice dream, but not likely.....too many commies :)
Bush won Travis County in 2000, thanks in large part to the heavily Republican western part of the county.
TexConfederate,
Believe it or not, Travis County did actually go for Bush/Cheney in 2000 - the final result was something like 47/42 Bush. I was amazed! The leftwingers in Austin control all facets of local government, and the citizens are mostly liberal moonbats. By my count, Kedwards bumperstickers I see while driving around town outnumber Bush/Cheney bumpserstickers by about 5 to 1. It will be interesting to see if Bush carries Travis County again in this election.
Texas as a whole, however - solidly Bush. Austin is Texas's redheaded stepchild.

While Bush did take Travis County in 2000 my info is that he won't tonight. My guess is that Bush will lose between 2-4 counties in Texas with Travis being one of them.
Voted at 1pm in west Austin. Not busy at all but the poll workers told me that it had been heavy in the morning and they expected it to pick up after 5pm even though 37% of registered voters in Travis county voted early.
