34. Oh, they so rock. True independent Texans.

(Well, Natalie is anyway.) As a native eastern New Mexican and having lived in TX, I can say for sure that this area has STRONG progressive roots...we just gotta reclaim them. As does most of country music. Look at old country: very pro-labor, "working man," and so on. We lost that in the late 70s and 80s somehow, but now is our chance to reclaim that. We never stopped working for these people, but now we have a chance to get them back, to show them that we're on their side (and among them). If we do it right, we can take back the entire country.
