Poll question: Another demographic poll for DUers and lounge lizards...
I know there are a large number of my fellow Texans here, and I was wondering if we could get a ball park figure on percentage. I know it's damned unscientific but please humor me. Kicking it every now and again would be good too.
Thank you.

22. Well, I'm still an El Pasoan, I guess, but that's different.
Different time zone, different world from the rest of the state. I don't identify with the fundie reich wing types that seem so prevalent in Dallas and Houston.

I suppose San Antonio and Austin are still decent towns...

But I love CA, wouldn't want to live in TX proper, though El Paso might be acceptable.

32. I'm not a Texan but I lived there for 10 years
in Austin, and I absolutely loved it. So can I be an honorary Texan?
