44% is right around Obama's max in Texas (and not far from what he will get, in the end.)

Yes, if Obama wins by 5% or so (his present margin in polling right now, from what I can tell), he *could* pull Texas within single digits.  That much is clear.

Unfortunately, 44% is basically our ceiling here.

Uh, the same polls you are going crazy about showing Kansas as a swing state have McCain winning some Kerry states so please get in touch with reality or at the very least don't have such a blatant double standard.

The stereotype is that TX is all republican.  But let us not forget that all but one election ('96) saw a Texan (a Bush) on the ballot.

Texas is Republican with or without Bush.  Republicans control 70% of congressional seats, both senate seats, every statewide office for the last 10 years, both houses of the state legislature, every seat on the Texas Supreme Court......well, you get the picture.

Then what else was he suggesting? At the very least, he was suggesting it will be a tough race in Texas. Please, people, listen to yourself.

To me it reads like he really isn't sure if this is right, but if it is the wow thats great.
