Thomas Edsall, writing in The New York Times:
"Christopher Hooks, a freelance journalist based in Austin who often writes for the Texas Observer, has produced two nuanced analyses of the state of play in Texas politics, one in the Observer, the other in the Atlantic.
"In the Nov. 7 Observer, Hooks wrote:
"Something happened this year that has not happened before — Republican-leaning voters studied specific down-ballot races and broke ranks. That’s a terrible omen for Republicans, who spent the month before the election begging voters to vote straight-ticket R. Once voters get in the habit of splitting their ballot, they’re more likely to do so in the future."
