Texas is a really big state. And by the way, it carries a huge amount of electoral votes. It has been very benefical to the GOP that the Bush family has produced victories here time and time again, and while there isn't a Bush on the ticket this year, they are still going to win, even if less than previous elections. Check on the huge House race of Tom Delay's former district, it is a nice oppurtunity for a GOP pickup.President-
