See my post #12. Ortiz got 57% of the vote and McCain only got 45% in 08. The fact that Bush got 55% in District 27 in 04 gives me some hope that we might win there.

McCain only got 45% in 08.

But McCain got 51.75% of the vote in Nueces county. Nueces county was actually the most populous county in Texas that voted for McCain.

We’re going to win a whole bunch of districts in which McCain got 45% or below. As you mentioned, President Bush got 55% in the TX-27 in 2004 and if longtime incumbent Solomon Ortiz was held to only 57% in 2008 it could be a sign that his act is getting old. The one thing that Ortiz could always point to was his solidly pro-life voting record, but after voting for the abortion-funding Senate version of ObamaCare he can’t even claim to be pro-life anymore.
