As a Texas resident, would you have any information on the best way to contact Kaye Bailey Hutchison and get a response?

Nope, none other than what is commonly available.

If he does he'll change the state flag...

Best laugh I’ve had all day.

This article is about three month late. This is JULY 1, not APRIL !.

“I would love to see the “internals” on that one........”

Let me make a guess for you ..... they only polled people that voted for Obama in 2008.

[ScottinVA]

He lost Texas by 12 points and almost a million votes against McCain

And that was when 0bama was at the zenith of his popularity. The only way he'd win Texas is if enough voters out there somehow gave him credit for the state's economic success. Yes, American voters can have a penchant for extreme stupidity, but I think Texans know the score. That said, I'd like Obama to commit huge amounts of campaign $ out there and short himself in other states.

"According to a new poll by Democratic firm Public Policy Polling, Obama would beat Perry 47 percent to 45 percent."

I know y'all love me, but come on guys. Even I know better than that!

[ScottinVA]

The rest of the U.S. ain't far behind

I agree... ultimately, demographic tides will very likely plow the nation under in time.

[ScottinVA]

If 0bama is re-elected, America isn't America anymore

We're already past that point. Defeating 0bama is the only hope to getting America back.

Call me skeptical. Granted, the difference between a blue state and a red state is much smaller than the casual observer even realizes, but McCain took Texas with a 12% lead in 2008. 12% is huge, simply huge.

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Thanks for the laugh!

This is the same polling outfit that had Perry and White tied ... 4 months before perry beat White by 20 points:

“Republican Governor Rick Perry is now tied at 43 with Democratic challenger Bill White.”

If the election were today, Obama would lose the following states he carried in 08: Ohio, Florida, Indiana, and North Carolina.

Today, he would almost certainly lose Pennsylvania---although that never seems to hold by election day.

Tell me again how he'll get Texas?????

A ten-gallon hat would beat Obama in Texas.
