houstonfella Posted November 9, 2006 Share Posted November 9, 2006 Great. I am with those Dems. I read an article in the Chron that Houston, in 2008, will be blue as well. I think people realize that Republicans are neither Religious nor Right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At this rate, we might be seeing massive party realignments/GOP reform/third parties rising, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HarryMoto Posted November 10, 2006 Share Posted November 10, 2006 I found this red/blue electoral map of the US from 2004. Dallas County was red while several other Texas counties were blue:http://alt.cimedia.com/ajc/pdf/elect_results_uscounty.pdf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spades Posted November 14, 2006 Share Posted November 14, 2006 I think Dallas County is going to be blue for a long time. Harris will be right behind them in a couple years and will remain blue for a while as well. But I wonder if Texas will ever vote for a democratic governor again.
