Compared to places I lived before I came to TX ... the big religious difference is there are a lot more Catholics here ... BIG Catholic churches around here. There's a Buddhist temple down the road from me .. that's new in the past decade. My former employer relocated thousands of people from NY/NJ in the period cj was talking about and is in the process now of relocating thousands more from the northern VA, MD area ... many of whom had been relocated from NY originally. I don't know if any of this has anything to do with the growth of the Republican party here. The big cities are still mostly run by Dems ... that's where the Democratic party has survived ... local city politics. Thinking about someone like Perry, a former Democrat. I think he turned Republican because the Dems moved left and because he came to realize the national Democratic party hates and despises people like him (white, rural background, veteran, Christian, gun owner & hunter) and they did that BEFORE he turned Republican. Why should Dems be surprised that people they disdain turn Republican?
