He lost Texas by 12 points and almost a million votes against McCain (!). How does he win it next time, especially since the bloom is now off the rose?
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.
