Exactly Lilo. Our population is 35% Hispanic and growing. Caucasians are a demographic minority now. Political change in Texas is now inevitable.

The GOP will have to change if it is to survive. It already has. For example one mantra of the right used to be that government doesn't create jobs. That's out the window now with Romney's claims that he as President will create jobs.
