1. Yep, the valley is that great big "Blue Tide" that's going to take
over Texas eventually.

4. not ironic at all
My roommate ran into a descendent of the original Maverick about a month ago, and was she ever irritated with McCain. The Maverick family is traditionally and strongly Democratic, as are the communities they come from. The real Maverick spirit will prevail.

6. I guess Maverick really translates to the Mexican term:
Atravezado

Crossways to everything and everyone.

5. We were blue in Dallas, Houston, Austin, San Antonio, El Paso and the Valley.
Now it's time to educate he bubbas and the filthy rich. About 3.5 MILLION people in Texas voted for Obama. That's something to think about.

7. Them is my people!
My family comes from the Valley.

They've been in the Valley for over 300 years!

When José de Escandón y Helguera, the Count of Sierra Gorda came to settle the area, he was greeted by my ancestors.
