Are you saying Puerto Rico is a state? If you are then wouldn't that make 51?

Unless you got rid of one that I don't see.

Do we really need two of them? I haven't been to North Dakota yet, but South Dakota is a nice enough place so maybe the two of them could reach some sort of understanding.

Although Veasy got into Congress, so plenty of us in the Dallas/Ft. Worth area were out there in force. Austin and Houston, too, I'm pretty sure. El Paso, too.

I'm stationed overseas. I'm lucky if I can get the time to go googling.

Dallas, Harris (barely), Travis, El Paso, Bexar and a handful of other small counties went for Obama. What's wrong with Tarrant County?

The south would have been solidly blue if just ONE person had switched their vote in Kenedy County (it was 83-82-1!). Obama once again raked up 30 to 50 point margins in the border counties of South Texas.
