The question is not so much what the political orientation of the average Texan is, but rather what Texans identify with. The US or Texas? I would argue Americans have a very strong national identity. Totally unlike Europeans for example, where people identify first and foremost with their own country and only little with the EU.

If you asked the garden-variety Californian and Texan about their political positions, desires, aspirations, fears, etc. I'd argue that they'd be diametrically opposite. I'm no Texan (anymore) but I can honestly say that when I look at a typical Californian, it's with a look of disdain and angst.
