The problem for Democrats in Texas is the Hispanics in that state are only 10% of the electorate, although I believe they constitute (with blacks) ½ of the state?s population. Whites (Anglos) comprise of 73% of the electorate and that explains why Republicans do well in Texas. The other problem for Texas Democrats is the Hispanic vote is not monolithic towards the party.
When it comes to prairie politics, South Dakota is no different then the rest of the plains states---it votes Republican for President. I don?t see any indication in the future to state otherwise, along as Democrats keep nomination East Coast liberals.
