You may think you know how the Obama-McCain battle in Texas is going to turn out. You may even be right. But the more important outcome is down-ballot, where two dozen or so races—and the future of politics and policy here—will be affected by what happens at the top of the ticket. The presidential race matters because it drives, or fails to drive, turnout. The 2008 election is occurring at a moment when the political pendulum in Texas could swing the other way.
