Taking a look at Forsyth county is generally a mistake, I feel.

Results by Metropolitan Statistical area starting with the most populated:

Dallas/Fort Worth: McCain 55%-45%

Greater Houston: McCain 54%-46%



Although the numbers seems reasonable, how the heck did the statewide results come out to 55% McCain and 44% Obama when aside from the Hispanic South, McCain won most of rural Texas by a landslide, in most cases over 70% and in many cases over 80%.

Not many people live in rural white Texas these days. Besides, the MSA's often include places like Montgomery county (75% McCain, and where our resident crazed Texan Fundamentalist, Jmfcst, lives).
