Dallas County Democrats are ecstatic this afternoon as they realize just how well they did in yesterday's elections. According to The Dallas Morning News, "Big D Means Democrat Again."
Riding a trend that began four years ago, Democrats have turned the tide in Dallas County, rejecting a high-profile GOP candidate for district attorney, kicking incumbent county judge Margaret Keliher to the curb and choosing dozens of Democrats for judicial posts.
Dallas voters cut off two decades of Republican control in the county, sending a diverse group of Democrats to 42 judicial posts and six countywide offices, including the first black district attorney Craig Watkins. Watkins upset favored Republican Toby Shook.
