Politicians, Texans just aren’t that much into you.

That’s right because RED is the color of Socialist revolutionaries.

The naming of states by color ONLY began after the MSM (in collusion with the DNC?) changed the color conventions.

TRUE BLUE had previously been the color of GOP victories.

Wendy, you’re about to be crushed, losing by perhaps as much as 16%. Texas will reject your baby murdering, flip-flopping, resume-lying, campaign and send you spiraling back into obscurity.

I think Windy means it’s not a hammer and sickle Red state.

Most governors only served one term, except for long-term Gov. Rick Perry, who’s been in charge of the state since 2000 and is relinquishing control rather than running for a fourth term. (Texas has no gubernatorial term limits.)...

President George W. Bush, who served as Texas' governor, won the state in 2004 with 61 percent of the vote, compared to then-Sen. John Kerry’s 38 percent.

Bush won two terms. He didn't serve out his second term.

The primary turnout in the last off-year election, 2010, was 16.5% of registered voters - and that was the highest since 1990. Only a tiny fraction of us will decide who our candidates will be. Turnout is key. Make sure you show up.

I think that you will find that the more solid a state is (Democrat or Republican), the lower the voter turn out will be. Its the close states that get the higher turn out.

It’s about GOTV. The lefties need the polls to be open fpr weeks so they can drive every nit-wit in the district to the polls and tell them who to vote for.

‘Texas is not really a red state’

And you really are a candidate.

I’ll bet ‘ole Wendy has more time in the abortion stirrups than a cowhand on a Texas cattle drive.

[tanuki]

And Wendy Davis is not really a candidate. She is an agent for transformative causes-much like a certain Kenyan.

[Slyfox]

In fact, Texas has had lower voter turnout rates than the national average since 1972.

Back when Texas was democrat-controlled it was much easier to fumble the vote in their direction. Now, we are on to them. That's why they are screaming bloody murder over Voter ID.

So, when they know people are watching not so many turn up. Lower numbers are not a bad thing as long as the vote is clean and we win.

The Wiki on this is actually very good and discusses in some detail how red was always used as an indicator of Euro Lefties. Until 2000. To think the US MSM didn’t collude to change that association is utter blindness to truth. I refer to them as “conservative” versus “stupid” states. I live in one that’s halfway.

Texas is one of the worst performers when it comes to voter turnout. In 2010, just 36.4 percent of registered voters actually voted, making it the worst state for turnout. In 2012, Texas ranked 48th in voter turnout, according to a report from the University of Texas at Austin.

This is GREAT NEWS when you're trying to oust a RINO like John Cornyn in a Primary. We need a low voter turnout in the March 4th Primary. We don't need uninformed voters, who only vote on name recognition, showing up to vote for John Cornyn simply because they are familiar with is name. Let the die-hards, the people who keep up with what's going on in this nation, be the ones to make the choice.
