miscalculation. It's been 20 years since I LIVED in Texas (Fort Worth--Where I was a DELEGATE to the Democratic Convention)--and in a little East Texas town between Corsicana and Palestine. GHW does have a place in Houston, and lives there a lot--(if not MOST of the time). Perhaps I will change the title....but, a LOT of the problems we are seeing today (especially in the break down of the wall between church and state, which will be the focus of the book) comes from the Houston/Gulf Coast AREA. (You know, Houston is BIGGER than the DFW Metroplex--so, really being 20 miles away from Houston is pretty much "being in Houston." DFW airport isn't in either Dallas or Fort Worth....but, people flying there usually say, "I'm flying to Dallas." The Dallas Cowboys play in IRVING--but, you sure can see the Dallas Skyline. And BTW, I have, you know BEEN THERE--to Houston.

As far as doing the hard work turning the Lone Star State Blue---I hope you pull it off, cause it's going to take hard work. When I lived in Texas working for the Democrats, TEXAS WAS BLUE! Had Lloyd Bentsen in the Senate, Mark White in the Governor's Mansion---Followed by Ann Richards---Jim Wright was Speaker of the House....

Now, you all give us Kay Bailey Hutchinson, John Cornyn (another one involved in Abramoff scandal), Dubya, DeLay, Cheney (He really is a Texan, you know--just claims Wyoming so he could be on the ticket with Dubya) and that other POS that you have for governor now, Rick Perry.

Now, I don't hate Texas (have a brother doing his PhD at UT Austin--nice city)---San Antonio is perhaps my favorite city to visit in the whole U.S.A.---I like Cow Town (Fort Worth--enjoyed the Stockyards lots when I lived there--have travelled all over the state, including Houston) and I'm sorry I offended you.

But, again, Texas Dems have a LOT of "cleaning house" to take care of---as we do here in Georgia.
