12. I can
it's about the delegates.

Nobody is pinning her general election chances on winning Texas.

13. That certainly explains why Texas is important, but doesn't explain the discounting of red states.

14. Doesn't explain those who say Obama's wins are less meaningful because they are "Red States".
So you only answered half the question.

16. well I never said that
so I'm not sure what you want me to defend.

As I've said repeatedly, I like both candidates, and I think the race is effectively a tie right now, so you'll have to find somebody else to get into a candidate fight with.

You said you had an answer to my OP and came into the thread.

15. That's why I asked them if they wanted to spot
red states to us. Since those red states are so worthless and all. Maybe they want to spot us all their red states, including Texas, and throw in Ohio to boot.

19. Hey now, Texas had a Dem governor... uh... 14 years ago.
So what if they not only elected chimpy but re-elected him by a wide margin? The state is in play!
