Unfortunately, not true. Llyod Doggett was targeted also. He used to be my rep, but he couldn't win in his district the way it was redrawn so he ran in one of the new ones that goes from Austin to the Mexico border and won.
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.
While it is technically true that Doggett and Green survived, they did so by stealing districts designed to elect Hispanic rats. So, these were no net loss to the GOP since those seats had been allocated to the rats anyway. And actually this is better because we can target them again in 2012. If the districts were held by Hispanics, as they were intended, they would be sacrosanct under the Voting Rights Act and we would not be able to touch them.
Anyway, I contend that when we say that that pro-infanticide POS Chet Edwards was the sole survivor of the 2003 redistricting saga, we are essentially making a true statement. We intended to convert 10 white rat seats into 7 GOP and 3 rat minority (2 hispanic, 1 black) districts. We fell only 1 short of this goal.
