A political scientist and Republican party insider examines how Texas made its dramatic shift from Democratic stronghold to GOP dominance.In November 1960, the Democratic party dominated Texas. Democrats held all thirty statewide elective positions as well as the entire state legislature. Fifty years later, this stronghold had not only been lostit had reversed. In November 2010, Republicans controlled every statewide elective office, as well as the Texas Senate and House of Representatives. The state's congressional delegation in Washington was comprised of twenty-five Republicans and nine Democrats.Red Stateexplores why this transformation took place and what these changes imply for the future of Texas politics. Wayne Thorburn analyzes a wealth of data to show how changes in the state's demographicsincluding an influx of new residents, the shift from rural to urban, and the growth of the Mexican American populationhave moved Texas through three stages of party competition, from two-tiered politics to two-party competition, and then to the return to one-party dominance, this time by Republicans. Thorburn reveals that the shift from Democratic to Republican governance has been driven not by any change in Texans' ideological perspective or public policy orientationeven when Texans were voting Democrat, conservatives outnumbered liberals or moderatesbut by the Republican party's increasing identification with conservatism since 1960.
