| Mainly, yes...but as one of those Texans who live in a rural area (town population of roughly 5,000 in East Texas), I know that there are strong liberals all over Texas.
...and they aren't just black, either. In case you thought about coming back with that argument as well. | |

| D&G -- You listed all of your AP scores in 7 different subjects, but how many of those classes/tests had you taken when you applied? Are some of those classes that you took in your senior year? | |
