Any Texas Bernie supporters here?

We live in the geographic center of Texas and have met one democrat since we've been here. It's definitely a rural area, as is most of Texas, but still. Anyone up for a meet up just to commiserate? I'm buying...

Went to the Bernie organizing meeting. Nice turnout with a very diverse group of people.

We have to remember that while Texas looks like a sea of deep red, the big cities and south Texas are all blue. McCain only got 55% of the Texas vote and Romney did a wee bit better with 57%. Between a growing Latino population and Democrats working hard on voter registration and turnout, Texas will be crossing into swing state territory in the not too distant future.

Dallas - 3 in my household
my son and his wife in their household.
East Texas - my daughter and her 2 voting age children.

That's 8 immediate family.

I don't think my '89 Toyota would appreciate the trip, but if you get to my area of Dallas I will treat.
