There is a movement locally, (I live in Dallas, well Forney), to make sure that Rick Perry does not stay in the governor's seat. His ignorance (dumbness) was put on display in the repub debates, and has no way now, to prove otherwise.
If the state can get a Dem governor, then it's possible.
You...live in the Dallas area. Well, that's unfortunate.

Now read that again. BTW, what on earth do you know about the 'dallas area'? Everything which means I may have seen you around. I feel disgusted already...

Dallas/Fort Worth just added a new Congressional District (33) who's voting constituency is predominantly minority. Texas Democrats do well in the metropolis' areas (Houston, Dallas, San Antonio)....it's just the fringe areas that are dominated by white cowboys, white oilmen, etc. Poor minorities in these areas (West Texas, the Valley, the Panhandle, Northeast) don't have $$$$ to support a proper representative. Whenever a prominent minority in these areas (Ted Cruz) comes to light; he's bought by the Republicans. If Latino's don't sell-out, Texas will turn Blue.
Actually, they are looking at adding 3 more additional seats. The hispanic population, and so did AA, really expanded. 'Redistricing' certain areas means more minority representation, (if they don't sell out), and should push Texas blue. There's a certain hispanic in San Antonio, Julian Castro, that will cancel out most of Cruz's 'mojo'. It will be interesting in 2014, to see how the dynamics evolve. Nevertheless, people should be voting, which represents their best interest. Really, where are these 3 additional seats located? Are they Congressional / Senatoral seats ? I saw Julian Castro on Meet the Press/ Democratic National Convention. I like him and hope that he moves past his Mayoral post.

I have seen Julian Castro being interviewed a few times. He needs to improve his game a great deal but he is likely to end up being a major player long term in the Democratic party.

I'm quite certain, we don't travel in the same circles. I don't frequent any 'hoods' or 'ghettos', so, feel free to take a bath. I'm out here in the suburbs...unfortunately. I only frequent the "hoods" and "ghettos" when I'm trying to enlighten young Black men and women that ask for it. What's your excuse? You a little too light for that sort of work.
