It was kind of irritating to see it still pink, while all the other big cities got their blue on.

1. That's a very interesting map!
Notice how the Valley (on the border with Mexico) is mostly blue, save for a couple of reds in there, and it looks like it's spreading. Maybe that's the real reason why Repubs want to shut down the borders ;)

Also, I always figured Beaumont (Jefferson County) to be pretty much red forever as they're another oil town like Houston, but I see they've gone pink so far.
Here's to the continued blue-ing of Texas! :toast:

2. Dallas County is still solid blue
Just wrote this for Daily Kos: Dallas County: A Blue Pixel in Texas. Catch it quick before it slides off the diary list into oblivion.

4. Thanks. I posted at BOR, too, where it'll have a longer shelf life.
