This column is a pile of Texas longhorn "rose food".

DeLay wanted more Republicans coming from Texas. Doggett's career is his own concern. We dont like doggett but that is only because he is a left-wing partisan grandstanding fearmonger.

THE REAL QUESTION IS WHAT IS THE LIKELY PARTISAN MAKEUP IN THE TEXAS DELEGATION TO CONGRESS? What is it shaping up to be come november?

It's 16-16 now, thanks to Ralph Hall's switch. How many are safe GOP, safe Dem, and 'in play'? Is Bonilla at risk? Any other GOP candidates with strong challengers?

I am guessing Frost would lose. So the only possible survivors are Edwards and Stenholm. Anyone got odds on that?

With CD-10, CD-2 and CD-11 adding 3 new GOP Congressmen, and survival of sessions, neubebauer, and win of arlene wolgemuth in april then in november - can we expect a 21 GOP , 11 Dem split? or is that 22 GOP?

Even if it's 21-11, that's still a whole lot better than 15-17! And don't count Klein out yet - we still have 8 months to go!

I remember being very happy in August when DeLay claimed that he drew Doggett out of existence but Doggett was able to win big in a Hispanic district. It looks like DeLay underestimated Lloyd and because of DeLay's error I will have to live in Doggett's district for the next 20 years.
