Texas GOP straw poll

Trail Blazers | Ryan J. Rusak:
“Does this mean a boost for Duncan Hunter similar to Mike Huckabee's momentum out of Iowa? Will it help Fred Thompson counter some recent bad news as he finally launches his campaign? How bad is it for Ron Paul, having put all this effort into it?”
Ed Cognoski responds:

We'll see how Fred Thompson does nationally. Except for that possibility, I'd say the Texas straw poll results mainly show just how out of touch the Texas GOP is from the national GOP, which itself is out of touch with the electorate as a whole. Not a good sign for Texas.

I would like to encourage the Texas GOP. With their brand of leadership, I think we can be assured of a Democratic majority in Texas for the next 150 years. If the Republicans want to hate on the fasting growing electoral group in the state, then they will get what they deserve. I say we give it to them good and hard.
