Senate Primary by Media Market

Same breakdown as below for the Senate Primary. Some glaringly obvious hurdles in East Texas and the non-traditional Dem areas. Rick did ok in the major urban counties (Bexar & Travis being notable positive exceptions); hovered around 50% in the suburban counties around them; and just tanked outside of that.

It's a similar issue that Obama ran into, just more pronounced. And Rick's saving grace here is that the dropoff from the Presidential race means the universe of voters has a higher proportion of folks who know something about the contest. Not that that's saying much. Hard to get a message out while trying to leave part of the $1M raised in the bank in a state like this.
