The GOP definitely has a good hard-floor in Texas.  

[Colbert]

this poll is quite good for Paul. He's the only under the -10

I can think of lots of reasons why Democrats might be less likely to vote in Texas than Republicans, but it's also a bit early to be applying likely voter screens, no?

There's no chance Obama is winning Texas.

I don't think it's terribly likely, either, in 2012. 2020 is of course another story.
But it seemed worthwhile to post the RV numbers as well, in the interests of completeness.
