In a previous assignment, there was a discussion about whether or not Texans exhibited Exceptionalism.  As I read this article, I can only shake my head at the notion that this writer believes Texas´ shifting primary dates matters. Even if it is due to redistricting with congressional district boundaries "up in the air", the Texas primary will not determine the winner of the Republican race. The fact that Governor Perry endorses Newt Gringrich leaves a lot to be desired considering Mr. Gringrich said he hoped to be about even with Romney after the Texas primary. To even say that Texas can shape the race is clearly an exceptional frame of mind. I believe if you want to catch a glimpse of how big Texans really think of themselves and their ability to shape America, you just might enjoy this article.
