Texas Update

Rick Perry won outright. No runoff. It will be interesting to see how far he slides toward the center in the general. He's scary conservative but I believe his craziest moments have come from pandering rather than a true desire to say, secede from the Union. He'll probably still continue Texas on the road to fully mimicking a third world petro-state, though.

Excellent! Thanks for that update. I'll have to check to see what this will mean for their standards review.
