There have been alot of Republicans moving into Texas in the last 20 years and with the Democrats running left more and more, the result is a Republican majority. However, Dems are still in alot of these small town courthouses because of the older voters who still will not vote for a Republican. Though it is better now, more die hards will have to retire from life to increase the chance of a Republican being elected. This is mainly a situation in small counties where the people have lived here forever. That is where I get my name. These Dems would rather vote for a yellow dog than a Republican. It really does go back to Reconstruction.

Yea, these were the guys in east TX that had Sancez and Kirk yard signs out in force, making us believe that the Democrats were resurging. In the end, even Democrat East TX went Republican.
