477,455 = The number of people who voted early in Dallas County. Half of Tarrant County's registered voters have already hit the polls. Pretty darn cool if you ask me.

That includes me - an Obama supporter.
It's was a vote of support that is meaningless of course, since Texas is well, Texas.

I Support the blues that will wipe out the reds, and hope the stardust of this election will be read through and through, while we bask in the rays of the T. V for the next 3 nights, I am for change and hope you are too. A.T, change finder.

@snowboard9:
Sure, Texas will go red, but there's the possibility that Obama might win Dallas county.
The significance of that? Dallas will be the home of the Bush Presidential Library.

Dallas could go back to being Democrat as it was in the 1960s......now that was the dark age for Dallas politics.....A.T, old Guard to vision of the white House.

Most of the Dallas Democrats in the 1960s became Reagan Democrats and then Republicans in the 1980s.
And most of the City Council already is Democratic. But ever notice that we don't know for sure what each person's political affiliation is? And during mayoral campaigns, you never see "Republican" or "Democrat" being bandied about? There's a bit of an unwritten rule in our city council's government that they're not supposed to represent (at least blatantly) any one particular political party.

AND you are correct, you win the Obamma cupie doll,.... while it is the end of a very long peroid of the Republians I do beleive...mean while i will stay out of the political discussion to say another thing, we will do what California has done and then again, by the time we hit the grave, Texas is another place or state of mind, until then...drift with positive change is healthy.
