Discontent with GOP finds way into Texas

From the AP via Yahoo courtesy of AlterNet:

Three weeks to the midterm elections, GOP discontent is seeping into the home state of
President Bush, where every statewide elected official is a Republican.

The state's Republican House members were supposed to be protected from such voter mood swings by the 2003 redrawing of the state's congressional districts, orchestrated by former House Majority Leader Tom DeLay.

But largely because of DeLay, who resigned in June embroiled in scandal, Texas this year unexpectedly is one of the states that could help Democrats wrest control of the House from the GOP this November. Races for three of the state's 32 congressional seats are considered competitive.

Well, three out of thirty two doesn't at all mean that my home state is turning liberal. I mean, that's just an absurd notion on its face. Given the above mentioned redistricting, however, and how it really has made it virtually impossible for Texas' Congressional delegation to tilt Democrat, this is significant: when Texas Republicans start dissing the GOP, you know people in this country are totally pissed off. 'Bout time.

Good Lord, we've come a long way since March of '03.
