Thanks, folks. For some reason, I had forgotten it was a 'RAT advantage before.Texas is now closer to representation as Texans VOTE now! Yay!!!
The failed to Pick off Texas' Number One Liberal Lloyd Doggett.
The focus will be sharper and more focused in two years.
We could pick off a few more then I bet.
Yes Doggett was targetted (district 10 moved) ... But Doggett ran in a Democrat district that was not expected to put a Republican in. Doggett could have stayed and fought in 10... but instead ran to a Democrat majority-hispanic district.
I live in travis .... sadly Travis County is the most Democrat county in Texas now, in terms of the vote margins it gave for the Democrats.
A liberal wrote this biased article.
"Arlene Wohlgemuth, was so right-wing that even hard-right voters couldn't bring themselves to elect her. "
GAG ME. The re-elected Chet - narrowly - because Chet pretended to be a conservative Democrat and played the Aggie card. pure and simple.
Arlene should have won.
A key point left out of all media references to DeLay's effort.
Democrats hate having to pay on invoices they cut. The Independent Counsel comes to mind.
I consider myself quite conservative, yet I have to admit to being slightly uncomfortable with her ads agains Edwards.
In particular, the gay marriage issue was hammered home too hard and too negatively. While I agree with the political position, those ads probably actually helped him.

This is what I get for working off the top of my head ...
21-11, I stand corrected. I'm not sure which race I missed.
As my economics prof at Central Texas College often said--"It's nothin but a vail of tears".
Heavenly Father. Please let all future years be as bad for all liberal democrats!
Amen.
Becky Klein was by far the better man against Doggett in 25!
hahahhaaa! Oh, yeah!! :^D
Couldn't happen to a nicer bunch of folks.
When I think of my short list of truly evil people, the RATS who collectively disenfranchised the majority of the state of Texas for the past two decades have to be in the top ten.
It wouldn't surprise me if Chet Edwards doesn't switch before the next election.
There are still 2 runoffs in Louisiana that could go Republican!

There are always cheap motels in Oklahoma they can move to. Oh wait, they tried that already.
