Rick Perry: Texas Will Never Go Blue

 

For many, it’s the country’s ultimate over-the-horizon electoral question: Could Texas become a blue state?

 

To which Texas Republican Gov. Rick Perry emits a hearty guffaw. Texas going blue, he says, “is the biggest pipedream I have ever heard.”

 

To explain just how preposterous, Gov. Perry summons the example of the state’s two arch rivals, the University of Texas and Texas A&M, his alma mater, whose colors are maroon and white.

 

“The University of Texas will change its colors to maroon and white before Texas goes purple, much less blue,” he said in an interview on the edges of the National Governors Association winter summit in Washington, D.C.

Well keep bringing in the Californians and we will see what happens. The big cities are going "blue" with Austin in the lead.
