the last time this voted for governor in texas, this is the way texas voted if you break it down by race. white people in texas voted for the republican in that race by a 40-point margin. african-americans in texas voted for the democrat in that race by a 77-point margin. latinos in texas also voted democratic, overwhelmingly in that governors' race. latinos ro voted for the democrat by a margin of 23 points. of course, in the overall sense, the white population was the largest proportion of the vote overall, so the republican candidate carried the day in that governors race in texas in 2010, but the racial disparities were really, really, really stark. same thing in the presidential race in texas in 2008. it was barack obama running against john mccain. white voters went for the republican by this huge margin. this does not mean that 47% of white people voted republican in texas. it means that white people voted for john mccain by a 47-point margin. black voters picked the democratic candidate for president by a 96-point margin. the black vote in 2008 in texas was 98-2 for barack obama.

texas cattle were immune. the cattle of midwestern farmers in kansas, missouri and illinois were not. when this malady began to wipe out those herds in the midwest, they got upset. and it caused the cattle trails to move westward. the easternmost trail, known as the sedalia and baxter springs trail, later known as the shawnee trail, was in use before and just after the civil war. passed through austin and waco and dallas, crossed the red river near preston, and led eastward north of oklahoma. the route split into the various trailheads at st. louis, sedalia, independence, westport and kansas city. also branches to baxter springs and other towns in eastern kansas. in use as early as the 1840s, drovers began to encounter trouble there in 1853 due to the texas fever i mentioned. suddenly, drovers were confronted by vigilance committees of local farmers and prohibitions enacted by the missouri legislature banning texans, in indian territory, cattle from the premises. drovers took their herds up the eastern edge of

[laughter] that appeals more to my dramatic since. so jeff kerr is the author of three books about texas history and in particular austin, texas, history. the first was "austin, texas - then and now." the next was "the republic of austin," in the most recent one and the reason we're here this morning is "seat of empire: the embattled birth of austin, texas" which is a history of the founding of the austin and the battle in the republic of texas offer what its capital would be. jeff also writes a review history column for the austin post and he is a practicing pediatric neurologist at the same time. so if we have any emergencies -- [laughter] he is the author that will take

>> texas, you know, rick perry has been going around the country saying, bring business to texas. and one of the businesses was apple. they were given about $30 million in tax breaks from local and state government off to come build a mega complex in texas. and in austin. for the first time, we asked, well, how are construction workers going to benefit from the project? a million square foot facility. and, no one had even thought about that. no one had thought about the lowest paid workers. they had thought about the high tech jobs it would bring. so we asked that, apple ensure that all construction workers on the project had workers compensation which, aren't guaranteed in texas, safety training and they got paid a living page. also that we would get to monitor the standard to make sure. >> of who the state or apple? >> the city and apple. they came to the table with us. they agreed to the standard. over the last 12 months in austin alone we created, ensured 5,000 living wage jobs for construction workers. apple, we are assuming it will be 1,000 construction jobs. that its the fi

i think we're going to see that in texas. and you know, the thing about texas, they were the petri dish for this infection of conservatism. karl rove practiced on texas, started by taking out ann richards out of the governor's office and went on the redistricting they did there, focused on democratic women. they got rid of five women in the legislature. and they have put in the most conservative, the most reactionary and the most anti women state house, you know, possibly in history. and women -- and their male allies are slowly going to take that back. i don't know that we can do it in 2014. it's possible. but we can't do it ever if we don't start trying. and the idea that texas is going to someday eventually go purple and then blue, it will, but it will happen faster if national democrats get involved and help texas people do it themselves. >> all right. joan walsh, sarah slaman. great to have you on "the ed show." we'll have you back. you're a fresh voice, no question about it. and with a lot of enthusiasm and common sense
