Is it inevitable that Texas will vote for McCain?

Question

Does Obama have ANY chance of winning the electoral votes of TEXAS?! I'm really worried because I don't want TEXAS giving her votes to McCain, GOD forbid.

Answer 1

I think you can discount any likelihood of Texas voting for Obama. Texas is beyond redemption when it comes to the election.

Answer 2

Texas is an inevitable win for McCain.  Obama isn't even really trying for it.    

Answer 3

McCain will win Texas with a sizable percentage of the vote (barring him doing something fanatically stupid on the part of McCain).  This state is unquestionably a Republican state.  (He won't get my vote however...but I am a Republican in all other races.  I am not sure what I am going to do just yet in the Presidential race).

Answer 4

I am a Texan and working hard at getting the REAL vote out for Obama

Answer 5

Yup, just like it is inevitable that my state (CA) will vote for Obama, which makes me wonder why I bother voting at all.  Still going to do my part for John McCain, and put my Country First!

Answer 6

Texas would vote for a chimpanzee if it was a Republican.  In fact, that's exactly what they did when they elected Bush to be their governor.

Answer 7

Yes he does! Hopefully Texans have some common sense, though Bush was a humdinger they laid on us!

Answer 8

They are a die-heart redstate. Let it be... we have CALiFORNiA AND NY!

Answer 9

Obama cannot win Texas. It's just not going to happen.

Answer 10

If you're from Texas you should still vote, even if you don't think that he'll take it.  

Answer 11

Texas will go to McCain along with the swath of states north of it.  

No biggie, but do get out and vote.

Answer 12

Sorry, I think ur sh*t outta luck, son!

I'm a democrat that is repulsed just by the thought of Bush but I'm not leaning toward Obama! I don't vote for party - I vote for leadership! It seems as though most Txans voted for state in the last 2 presidential elections. I'm just glad Bush can't run (and win) again! That's one thing I can be happy about no matter who wins!  

Answer 13

You never know, Obama could take it, right now Obama is only down four points in texas, so it's really close
