make or break you politically in Texas. For the "general election (statewide) whether you are a Christian or not, you better incorporate and emphasize "faith" in your political rhetoric or you can never get elected in this state and in reality it had better be Christian or Jewish - no atheist or Muslim allowed. It might be possible at the district level but no way in a statewide contest.

That is just a fact.

That is why I think Talarico has the best chance vs Crockett - although I like both a lot.
