Texas is OBAMA COUNTRY!!!

[Gruenemann]

At least my street in San Antonio is. Sixteen yard signs for Obama in a three block stretch. NO SIGNS AT ALL FOR MCLAME AND FAILIN. Pics at: http://www.flickr.com/photos/gruenemann/sets/72157607910318023/

1. That's great to see! n/t

24. Rowlett Texas...

In my little neighborhood Obama signs are at 8, McCain 1. Fingers Crossed!

Edited to add 1 Poster in a front window and announce that the sole Ron Paul sign is gone too.

I would not be surprised if Dallas County went Blue again as it did in the last election.

28. Dallas County isn't even going to be close - 55-45

2. I wish it was--those 34 EVs would be useful right about now.

[ooga booga]

30. If Texas' 34 go to Obama, he'll be in landslide territory

Those 34 EVs are the biggest block of normally reliable Republican EVs. Watching them go Democratic would be historic.

Hubert Humphrey won Texas in 1968
Jimmy Carter won Texas in 1976
NO ONE'S done it since then

[Alter Ego]

31. Carter needed Texas and the whole southern bloc

because Ford won California--he'd have been screwed.

3. That's truly is a beautiful sight. Way to go, Texas.

4. It's about 4-1 in my neighborhood for Obama...

East Plano

9. East PLANO?????

No freaking WAY.

Wow, that is seriously cool. I lived in Plano for a while and felt just surrounded by Republicans.

[snooper2]

12. It's very cool...

I've driven through all the streets between Jupiter/Shiloh and 14th Street North to Parker... :)

If you go down Park past Jupiter you'll see a huge McSame/Failin sign...( the people who had Huckabee signs before :rofl: )

Three houses down a HUGE Obama/Biden sign :)

My Obama sign is proudly displayed in the yard on my corner lot :hi:

[Erin Elizabeth]

17. Wow, yay! I even lived in East Plano, too.

I can't even remember where exactly, it was over a decade ago. But I know 14th street was just a bit to my east.

[PBS Poll-435]

22. East Plano?

Wow.

My street here in Richardson is Obamaland!

[Erin Elizabeth]

23. Yay Richardson!

(I grew up in the Land of Gar right next to you.)

[PBS Poll-435]

25. I work in the "Land of Gar"

Also Obama territory!

[rainbow4321]

32. Woooo---Hooooo..Plano here, also

Parker and Alma area.
What's missing in this area that was around in 2000/2004? Those huge obnoxious fence signs along Parker. And sure as hell NO McCain bumper stickers. I've seen 2 this year. You wouldn't even know the repukes have someone running.

Hey, how bad is it for local repukes if *Sam Johnson* feels a need to run a campaign ad? The county has gone 70-30 repuke for years and he just ran an ad just now on our MSNBC channel?? TX may not go blue but I bet we have our local repukes shaking in their boots?

5. We can only dream...

He'll need to carry Austin and San Antonio by overwhelming margins while comfortably taking Houston and Dallas-Fort Worth. Additionally, he'll McLame to not run Stalinist or Saddamite majorities in rural Texas.

[Erin Elizabeth]

8. Obama will take all the urban counties.

Trust.

El Paso, Tarrant County, Dallas County, Harris County, Bexar County, Travis County, the valley counties, the border with Louisiana and good ol' rural Robertson County, always blue in a sea of red.

I'm not so sure about Lubbock.

[hamsterjill]

6. Wow!!!

I'm in SA, too, and I think that's awesome for your neighborhood!!

I'm not seeing many signs in my neck of the woods, one way or the other, but I AM seeing a lot of Obama bumper stickers around town!!!

[Erin Elizabeth]

7. That looks awesome!

Dallas here. More and more Obama signs popping up around here (suburb) all the time! I've only seen one McCain sign several blocks away.

10. On the street where you live....

Thanks for sharing! :patriot:

[occe]

11. Lucky!

My street/neighborhood in IL is the exact opposite. Nice pics, thanks for sharing it with us.

[soccermomforobama]

13. There are quite a few Obama signs in Preston Hollow, also

That is HUGE since that is where the Bush family is rumored to be moving (they lived there before he was Governor).

[Erin Elizabeth]

18. WOW.

Way cool!

[StreetKnowledge]

14. A Great sight

Nice. :D I wonder if its actually possible for Barack to win Texas......wouldn't it kick the Republicans in the nuts if it happened! :wow:

[Erin Elizabeth]

19. He won't take Texas, HOWEVER, the Republicans are not

going to be happy with the returns from this state regardless. It's going to be getting too close for comfort for them.

[NatBurner]

21. never say never...

against my better judgment? i'm still optimistic

[SaveAmerica]

15. That's what I thought was happening in Texas! I freaked when I saw it turn pink the other night! WTG

[demokatgurrl]

16. The latest issue of New Yorker

has a great article on Texas, specifically Bush's "hometown" of Crawford. One old farmer said now you "have to drive pretty far to find a Republican".

Oh, if only........

[PBS Poll-435]

27. I do believe that the House Rep for Crawford/Waco/"Heart of Texas" is a Democrat

Chet Edwards.

[torbird]

20. Obama is going to CRUSH the popular vote!!

No fraud possible.

[Why Syzygy]

26. Woohoo! What a great street to live on!

[crankychatter]

29. even Washington is a "Red State" as soon as you get out of town

America is PURPLE

[tbyg52]

33. I drive down a mile or two of a "country club" street on my way to work,

which in the past has been wall-to-wall Repug signs. There are *three* McCain/Palin signs total. A few more houses have a sign for our Repug House candidate *only*. Several have signs for our Dem House candidate. No one has been brave enough to put up an Obama sign yet, but I expect one any day.
