Is Texas turning blue?

Unlikely.

Obama did win major cities in Texas including San Antonio, Houston, Dallas, Austin and El Paso and mid-sized cities inlcluding Laredo, Corpus and the Rio Grande Valley, which is mainly Hispanic.

I'm suprised at the results, not because it was a Republican victory but because Democrats made improvements over the last presidential election.

This is the way Texas voted in 2004 when Bush and Kerry ran.

I'm not stupid, I know Texas voted for Bush because he's a Texan and Democrats haven't won the state since the Jimmy Carter campaign, but the numbers shown for each county show the support for Bush MUCH higher than previous GOP candidates. Heck, even traditional Democratic counties/cities such as San Antonio and Brownsville voted for Bush. Laredo voted 44% for Bush. THAT IS TOO HIGH for a town like Laredo.

Then we compare it with this year's race.

There are around 8-10 counties that turned blue but this includes the heavy-populated Dallas county (whatever name it has), Harris County (Houston) and Bexar County (San Antonio). They were neck in neck but the increasing Latino population, I think, really gave these counties to Obama. 70% of voters in Laredo voted for Obama and Brownsville, which supported Bush with 50% of the vote gave McCain only 35%.

I don't think Texas will turn blue in the next few presidential elections but I do think the numbers are shrinking for the GOP or the Democratic party is gaining ground for a small comeback in Texas.

Again, in 2004, Bush won Texas with over 60% of the vote over Kerry's 38.2%. That's more than a 20% difference. In contrast, McCain won Texas by 11%.

EW Names its Entertainer of the Year

Some fun suprises made the list and some "wtf" ones too.

In my opinion, Tina Fey, Heath Ledger or even Barack Obama should have been #1 and the one they chose was kind of random. They know more than I do, obviously, but since I dislike this jackass I don't think he deserved that spot for two movies that he did. I don't think a lot of people saw his movies to see him. Why don't we just award the Entertainer of the Year award to Tobey Maguire next time a Spiderman is released.

Anyway, here's the list from the EW website:

Heidi and Spencer to Guest Star on How I Met Your Mother

They've conquered reality TV and filmed music videos together. Now Heidi Montag and Spencer Pratt will try their hands at comedy.

Montag, 22, and Pratt, 25, will guest star on an episode of the CBS sitcom How I Met York Mother that will air in January. Both will film their segments this week.

"We can confirm that Heidi and Spencer will appear on the show," co-creator and executive producer Craig Thomas tells PEOPLE, "but we can't give away anything specific about the episode. All we can say is that they play themselves, and one of them is The Mother."

Montag and Spencer join an impressive line of guest stars on How I Met Your Mother, including Britney Spears, James Van Der Beek, Heidi Klum, and Mandy Moore. source

Kate Winslet on Vanity Fair

HOT.

Tomorrow is the BIG night

The longest, most expensive contest is finally going to be over tomorrow. According to the MSNBC/Wall Street Journal poll, Obama leads McCain by at least 8 points. I think it's actually closer but polls have proven otherwise. If the Bradley effect comes into play it will be a very long night. I have a feeling that Obama will win by a small majority. If McCain wins, I will go on a murderous rampage (JUST KIDDING, in case a right-wing nut reports me to the FBI).

Coincidently, Obama's grandmother passed away today, one night before the historic election. :(

Good v. Evil (Segun Madonna)

I came across this advertisement on Youtube and Obama looks like he came from the heavens and is here to take care of us...and McCain...well, he looks like the Sith Lord.
