Texas: General Elections 2006

Well, its official, Edwards has proven that his winning the election in 2004 was not a fluke. He has proven himself a strong enough candidate to overcome the advantage given to the Republicans by the infamous gerrymandering. In fact, this year’s race wasn’t even close. Republicans all but conceded the race and withdrew funds around a month ago, leaving the man they once called “on of their most promising prospects” to finish out the election on his own. Edwards won by a whopping 18 points (58% to 40% according to CNN), which certainly isn’t as close as the Republicans thought it would be a few months ago. So it seems President Bush’s ranch will remain painted blue for at least another two years.
