    “Molon Labe!” Used to be everyone thought of the Alamo and Thermopylae together. Good to see that proud tradition upheld. :)

    I think Rick Perry’s going to win but if, say, Kinky pulls out (ahem, sorry about that) of the race it’s possible Perry be in trouble. Rasmussen lists Perry at about 33%, he’s about 31% at Zogby. I think it’s winner take all so technically Perry can with with, say, 25% of the vote and none of the other candidates are polling in the 30s so it’s likely Perry will take it, assuming no one drops out.

    Unfortunately, there are too many northeasteners moving into North Texas, which is diluting the native population. While it doesn’t look like they have brought their politics with them, it’s bound to get less conservative over time. Although in my neighborhood, which is Dick Armey’s old district, almost everyone is from out of state, and it’s still very conservative. But I think that’s more because of the economic level than anything else.

    But go ahead Dean. Waste your money and efforts into Texas. That leaves Ohio, Florida, Minnesota, Iowa, and Wisconsin for the GOP.

    Health care matters in Texas. Habeas Corpus matters in Texas. Government solvency matters in Texas. Environmental protection matters in Texas. And getting soldiers killed in the wrong war matters in Texas.

    You can only scare people with bogeymen like gun control and gay marriage for so long. The Democrats may have a long road ahead to bring their party back into predominance, but if it’s going to happen it will be because it competes in, and on the terms of, places like Texas.

    I certainly agree with the last sentence — the Democratic Party needs to learn to compete on the terms of places like Texas if it’s ever going to be a success at national predominance.

    I think there was a book written recently on the importance of being a national party, and how the Democratic party wasn’t one any more. Some Senator wrote it, fellow from the South…

    By the way, here’s Texas blogger Doc Russia explaining what those terms are.

    I was listening to C-Span last Friday or Thursday when Nancy Pelosi rolled out the new plan for when the Dems take over. It included a higher minimum wage, “fairer” tax policy (i.e. more confiscatory), tariffs, pulling out of Iraq pretty much immediately, “making health care affordable for everybody” (which means nationalizing it) and that was about it.

    It’s good to see they are coming back to the public with new ideas.

    i was trying to scare anyone. it is just that in most cases that i know of if you hate guns, want abortion, and want gay marrige your not conservative. democrats are not conservative and texas is largley conservative. i do not mean to “wave the bloody shirt” but it is the easiest way to make a point.

    Well, tariffs are not necessarily a liberal thing - Pat Buchanan seems to favor them, and no one accuses him of being liberal too often.
