Texas looks to follow UK's example

This.  I work for a Texas-based company, as a result I know a lot of Texans.  They're not nearly as much a monolithic group as reputation suggests.  There certainly is a powerful culture of the overly churched however, and so I would not rule out the possibility.

You know, I can only go by what they send into congress - Louie Gohmert anyone? - and what they elect as governors. I know too few Texans and never have been in that state.

Yeah I know there's a disconnect there somewhere. I mean, I've met plenty of batshit crazy Texans, but not nearly enough to account for Rick Perry.
