A landslide Democratic victory would pull in Texas. Remember that Bush had the home state advantage factor inflating GOP numbers....I'd say the Dem would win it if they win by 12-14 points nationally.

If Obama has a strong first term and is popular, I could see him winning Texas in 2012, depending on who the GOP nominee is, of course. 2008 is out of the question though Obama could get within 7-8 points of McCain in Texas in the best case scenario.

If the suburbs start mimicing northern suburbs and the cities start mimicing northern cities, plus the hispanic vote grows, it could happen.

Hard to say when that will happen, though.
