Good omen: the ultimate Dem city (SF) defeated the ultimate GOP city (D/FW) last night!

1. D/FW the ultimate GOP city? Not hardly

Dallas county went for Obama last election! Get your facts straight before posting. Google is your friend!

2. well... D/FW is what one thinks of when

thinking of conservative metro areas

4. One would be wrong then!

Dallas county went for Obama 423,000 to McCain's 310,000 votes. Despite what you say, we dems here in Texas have worked diligently to turn things around and make this state blue once again. Governor Perry only holds an eight point lead over his dem rival, Bill White, statewide, as of last week. It was a toss-up for a while, so we are making strides here.


Congrats to Giant fans on their victory last night. I'm not a baseball fan, but I give credit where it is due. The best team won!

5. Nearly all the big cities went blue last presidential election

It was a significant change from when Austin and El Paso were the outliers.

3. Did you see that Texas lost every home game that Bush attended?

He's the ultimate, Anti-Good-Luck Charm.

7. While I'm no fan of sports

I know better than to group baseball teams with political ideologies.

As you've already been made aware, Dallas, TX is quite blue.

8. And,under this train of thought,I am bright red.

hmm...check out the area between I-20 and I-30 in dallas...almost all elected officials are Dems.

true.I am one of three dems in Ellis County,home of one of the bigger Klan hangouts.Does that make me officially "Red"?

Don't forget...Molly Ivins,Bill Moyers,Ann Richards...all from texas.

9. I got you beat

My congressional district (13) is tied with Alabama's 6th as the most republican district in the USA.

My geography doesn't stop me from being blue and proud. :hi:

10. DFW is just about as progressive as SF or LA...even more so LA...IMHO

11. Same reason why the Yankees have won so many times.
