Our problems in Texas are systemic. The 50 state strategy was never properly run with there and that, combined with the DeLay gerrymander that wiped out virtually every White Dem in the delegation has cruelled our chances. Given also that running a decent congressional campaign is expensive owing to the media markets involved and you have a problem. There are still a few days to go though but parts of Texas certainly are the badlands for us.
