I'm not a Texan, and I'm not a racist. I
have read at least 20 books on the JFK administration and the assassination. Those that go into the "whys" of what happened when will tell you that, since Senator Yarborough and Governor Connelly were not on speaking terms, the Democratic party was split and probably would not be able to deliver the votes at the 1964 Convention.
"If the election were held this [1963] November, Kennedy would probably lose Texas. And he knew it. There had been talk of coming to Texas for more than a year, but the decision was finally pinned down... the President would come to Texas in late November.... Besides, not visiting Dallas, the most important city in the state, was unthinkable."
