Houston probably isn't that different of an animal politically than Atlanta or Memphis, but Harris County is a whole different animal than Shelby or Fulton/DeKalb County. 

It is different.  I'd have to attribute it to the oil industry. 

TX 7 is a much smaller district (land area) than GA 6.  It is the most urban Republican House seat in the nation.

As I said, TX 7 is about half the size in terms of land area as GA 6 but has approximately the same population  So it's not the size of Harris County compared to Shelby County.   

The difference I can see is the oil industry which is definitely Republican.  I haven't looked at the demographics. 

My first statement was quoting another poster but the quote-quote-quote looked so ugly I deleted it.
