Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., did the expected and easily captured Texas's 34 electoral votes in Tuesday's presidential election, news reports said. McCain held a double-digit lead in polls going into the contest, and was expected to cruise to an easy victory in the nation's second-biggest electoral prize over his rival, Sen. Barack Obama. McCain was declared the winner shortly after polls closed in the state. The win now puts 83 electoral votes in McCain's column to Obama's 174. A total of 270 electoral votes are needed to win.

Great news!
Well duh!
From a red county in a red state! ;)
Drink!
I'm looking forward to spending my days drinking Heineken, eating Colonels chicken, and watching SportsCenter in my underwear and scratching my balls and collecting my disability check.
Who's with me?
I’ve been trying to keep my head in a Vermont Country Store Catalogue all night. However seeing this thread, I am hoping that Texas can just secede, and McCain Palin can be our President and VP.
So glad we haven’t lost our minds in Texas.
“Who’s with me?”
Uh, Paris Hilton, Lindsey Lohan, and Britney Spears?
And why in the hell is New Mexico already thrown to Obama when MCain has a big lead?????
Woops, looks like he just went from 60% to 50%
I was tempted to call for a rain-out after the first three states had reported.
Although I was reading while driving, I didn’t think it would be a good idea to try and type.
Uh, this is supposed to be bad? I could learn to like Socialism.
Well, at least we won here and sent Cornyn back to the Senate for another 6 years.
All I can do is vote, work and shoot.......a third of my work is done !
It’s great to live in Texas.... just put up the Lone Star Flag in my front yard where it will fly until this Marxist is out of the White House!
There ain’t enough booze ta swallow this mess down...
It is a great state !! I had to laugh at the yard signs around my neighborhood. One day I was driving the back way to the store and I saw 1 Obama sign - the next day every house all up and down the street surrounded his Obama sign with McCain signs. It was just great - about a week later the Obama sign was down !!
Well I voted for him but Corny did not have to vote for the stupid bailout thing.
“So glad we haven’t lost our minds in Texas”.
Well, Harris County, the Largest Reublican County in the United States has flipped Blue. All of the County wide seats (Which are ALL Republicans, and mostly Conservatives) are having their @sses handed to them.
The reason is demographics. Harris County has always had a huge Black population but now we’ve been overwhelmed by the Mexican Invasion which has reached critical mass.
They are forcing Blacks out of the inner city and they are moving to the inner suburbs. Then the Whites (read Republicans) are moving to the surrounding Counties.
The same thing is happening to us statewide and unless the Hispanics miraculously start voting GOP, we’ll be lucky to carry one more Presidential Election before Texas goes dark blue.
Thanks a lot Bush.
If TX would ever go blue it would mean God’s wrath upon our Nation.
Remember that song by Little TX? something like “ive come to spread the message god bless TX....god bless TX w/ his own hand brought me down to the promised land.... god bless TX!
Lived in Dallas in the mid 90’s i don’t miss the traffic but miss those Texans & how friendly they were. Would’nt mind the hill country at all.
