Death Penalty for something other than Murder?

Texas is on the verge of being a blue state with its growing Latino population and as far as being a red state, LA has zip on Oklahoma. For the past two presedential elections, every single one of our counties was red. Our Democrat Party is completely irrelevant.

Our two parties of importance are your Tea Party Republican kooks and your Chamber of Commerce (think ALEC) Republicans.

Yes, on growing Latino population, but that given the higher percentage of non-citizens and those below voting age among Latinos it will still be a while.

As best as I can tell from uselectionatlas.org, Kerry didn't take any in 2004 either. Gore did take nine counties in 2000 though. (Note this was without Nader, as far as I can tell Oklahoma has by far the toughest rules on getting a third-party candidate on the ballot)

Which of those two parties are winning and who do the Conservative Christian groups ally with?
