That was the warning sign the demorats have ignored. From Florida to the Carolinas and west to Mississippi, other than some isolated ares (like Tennessee where the idiot GOP Governor endorsed a state income tax) the GOP has basically expelled the Demorats from the Southeast. Texas will probably be next. This is a disaster for the dems since the largest population shift is into the South and I know this will shock them, but people really do like low taxes and warm weather without union supervision. So I look forward to the next four years. It will be entertaining to watch them go nuclear on themselves.

What you mean, "next" paleface?

Name a Democrat in a statewide office in Texas.

The R's have the edge in the state leg.

Since the House districts were drawn by a judge, the (now Republican) legislature can rewrite the boundaries in the next session.

This reminds me: what is/are the author(s) of that book "The New Democratic Majority" (or something like that) saying in the aftermath of this election? As I understand it, their hypothesis is that the growing African-American and Hispannic populations basically guarantee Democrat dominance for the coming generation or more. The reality is: such simple-minded thinking has left the Demos direction-less and without a message other than "oppose the GOP." I suspect even the growing middle-class black population won't buy the Demo high tax, socialist message -- and I know the middle-class and upward aspiring Hispannics won't buy that garbage. Look for that book in the remainder bin shortly!
