Via Vince comes this Statesman article about the closer-than-most-people-expected race in HD52 in Williamson County. I guarantee you this will be on everyone’s radar next time.
And Dallasite Eric Folkerth gives his thoughts on the Dallas Democratic sweep. He’s got a series of posts on the elections up there, with this one being the most numbers-oriented. Here’s the point to zero in on:

We’ve been talking about when Harris County will be like Dallas County and have a big Democratic year. Maybe we ought to also ask when Dallas County will be like Travis County and have a near or total Democratic domination of the State Rep delegation.
