As an outsider, its hard to tell." Being from Austin, which is a very liberal town, it's hard for me to get a read on Texas too. Texas did elect Ann Richards, but I was disappointed in her performance as Governor. She had promised to do something about regulating insurance companies in Texas, which had just gotten mandatory auto liability passed on the promise that it would LOWER rates (didn't happen - they just kept going up), and did nothing. I think that elected Bush as much as anything else I am not basing my opinion just on the election of Bush. There is the TX GOP questioning the need for the separation of church and state, Perry authorizing vaccinations for all TX girls without consulting the parents, certain religious requirements in school books, Tom Delay, the Dems hiding in Oklahoma, etc. Its hard for me to know if they are the norm, or you and CJ. I tend to think its the former.
