Texas: 32 electoral votes, another of the so-called big enchiladas or if not an enchilada at least a huge taco.

I respect and empathize with reporters and editors who must compete in today's environment. And I know full well that when I've been covering campaigns, which I still do, I've made my mistakes and have been far from perfect.
