| [NPR.ORG] I'm guessing that the strategy calls for building up their strength among Hispanics, the dead, and emigres from Caliphornia, New York, Illinois, and other nifty places where industry is dying or dead and no connection is seen to Dem policies. At some point it is expected that these folk will outnumber the original, primitive, Texans who waste their time drillin' for awl, raising cattle, and farming instead of spending it productively on gay marriage, having abortions, and raising taxes. |

| #6 Colorado isn't Texas. The economy is worse in most of America than it was 2 years ago but not in Texas. |

| #5 Yes, agreed Ricky, I observed the 2012 election marveling at the "unserious" endeavors of the Obama campaign- the Clooney/ Sex in the City Celebuvote efforts. The Social media reach out was exactly what drove the GOTV of the "moveable" low info voters. Team Obama is using predictive analytics to data mine every voter in the USA, collecting "likes" and data points along the way, and now have close to 8 years of Big Data to mine...all with expertise supplied by Facebook/ Google/ technology wiz kids locked in the restricted dark room at Chicago Obama Campaign HQ. Access to this data base is what will keep Hillary loyal to Obama, as well as all the "chosen" future winners of the dem party. They wiz kids see something moveable in Texas. |

| #4 Sorry, RJ, but it ain't a pipe dream. I posted the below on a 'Burg thread about two years back: "I'm currently working my way through a book recommended by Hugh Hewitt: The Blueprint: How the Democrats Won Colorado (and Why Republicans Everywhere Should Care) Some damned sobering reading about how four rich Colorado leftists orchestrated the Dem takeover of the Colorado statehouse, waged "lawfare" against Republican candidates, and basically destroyed the Colorado Republican Party. The techniques worked out by this 'Gang of Four' are being replicated by leftists nationwide, and we underestimate them at our peril." Colorado used to be solid Republican territory, but the efforts detailed in The Blueprint delivered both houses of the state legislature into Quislingrat hands in the 2012 elections...and of course, the first thing the Quislingrats started working on was writing election fraud into state law via mail-in ballots and same-day registration. These people are dangerous, richly financed, highly disciplined and very, very patient...and they must not be underestimated. |

| #3 I think this is a pipe dream hoping to get Republicans to spend time and resources defending their hold. Someone needs to have a national add comparing the economies in the worst states and the best states and then show who is governor of said states. Should have done that during the last election. "You might loath the Republicans from crazy things you've heard, but their economic policies work." |

| #2 What they will do is pick who is going to run on the Dem side and pour in tons of cash for tee vee commercials. Unfortunately Texans will be at the church bible study, out back bar-b-cuing and debating if Obama is the anti-Christ and what is good horse sense versus real bull sh.t in general. |

| #1 Democrats Hope For A Bright Future In The Lone Star State Yes, it's called Austin. Remember per Article IV - Section 3. New states may be admitted by the Congress into this union; but no new states shall be formed or erected within the jurisdiction of any other state; nor any state be formed by the junction of two or more states, or parts of states, without the consent of the legislatures of the states concerned as well as of the Congress. Just break off that portion to be their own little Blue Paradise and leave the rest of Texas to its prosperity. |
