FGS I don't even watch the show and I know this much:
2006: TEXAS FOR DEMOCRAT AND CALIFORNIA FOR REPUBLICAN AND THE DEMOCRAT WON
That's because Vinick was from California and Santos was from Texas, both barely went to their favorite sons. I think Santos only won Texas by 52%-48% or something like that, and Vinick only won California by about 50,000 votes.
Right, but atleast Vinick was a Senator from the state of California, thus making it possible for him to carry it. I still find it hard to believe that Texas would vote for a Houston Congressman. The whole election just didn't make sense.
