I live in West Oak Cliff in Dallas and this area is Democrat through and through. The Dallas Morning News is very conservative and if you read the letters to the editor everyday like I do, you will see the right wing comments come from outside the city. Before Obama won the last election, I met a lady on business over in Plano (north of Dallas). She was a life long Democrat from New York would moved to Plano a few months earlier. She saw my Obama/Biden bumper sticker and had to give me a hug. She thought there were no Democrats in the area.
