For those who don't know, Dallas is THE modern GOP powerbase, the only major metro (http://fundrace.huffingtonpost.com/) that leans over 2/3 in donations to Republicans.
It wasn't an accident that George Bush is from Dallas (he lived there before and after his Presidency, Crawford was just to make him seem more country). Lists of top individual donors to the GOP are usually dominated by Dallas donors in the same way Democrat donors are really heavily from LA. Major Dallas companies like Exxon Mobil are also big time GOP donors.
I know Dallas is very religious and has a lot of huge churches. I also know it didn't even rank in the top 10 cities by size of Ron Paul meetup groups. So my question is, are the Republicans in Dallas more neconservative or libertarian?
