Everyone knows that there is nothing a Texan enjoys more than talking about her state. And with Texas emerging as a critical state in this year's Democratic presidential primaries, this time we might well be justified in talking big. Texans will go to the polls on March 4th, and 228 delegates are at stake. That's the most of any states left to vote. Conventional wisdom among pundits seems to hold that Hillary Clinton has a built-in advantage in Texas because of the Hispanic population. But in the race between Senators Obama and Clinton, we have all learned that conventional wisdom means little in the face of momentum, new voters, and fast money.
Who wins obviously depends on who votes, so let's delve into that a little. In my experience, there are four kinds of Democratic voters in Texas we should consider.
