Do you consider Texas part of the South?

[DemPGH]

Yes. It would be South or one of the Plains states, and I would vote South. All of eastern Texas is definitely traditional South, although I'd say northern Texas is definitely very plains-y with typical prairie culture and terrain.

Yeah, the only other option would be to call it a Plains state, I think.

What's interesting and probably coincidental is that the people I have met from eastern Texas will specify in telling you, "eastern Texas" is where they are from. They didn't remind me of anyone from Georgia or Alabama - they were just woodsy, if you will. No doubt they are politically aligned with the South, but not really so much culturally.
