Isn't that almost the exact same numbers Obama lost by in Texas?

Maybe Texas isn't as far right as some on the far left would have us believe. Most pollster rate Texas as "leans Republican". Not sure where you are getting your numbers for wide spread republican support of White but since they are almost the exact same number Obama received I would suspect they are BS. By the way as stunning as the poll numbers you posted are they really look about the same as Pawlenty's numbers so I guess Americans must hate that Minnesota swagger as well. Or that is just the numbers you would expect to get from little known candidates in August before the primaries have even started. As for the poll showing Obama beating Perry in Texas wasn't that the PPP doing that polling? They don't even claim to be unbiased.
Tim Pawlenty drops out of the race

Dems used to chase the evangelical vote, and the Church never should've permitted a political coup.

Huckabee didn't hide his beliefs, but also made clear he wouldn't try to legislate them.

It was 12.9%, which is pretty good for a Dem in a very red state during a very red year.

There's no "victory laurel" there. The Iowa straw poll is as irrelevant as lint in one's navel.

Largely true; it matters to people like Bachmann who need credibility, but to few others.

Just because you don't like the quote doesn't make the person citing it "left leaning".

It was a quote from Politico which is a left leaning news blog and the sources were unnamed
