As i recall, Dan's daughter is a big whig in Texas Democratic politics.

She's not a big wig, other than by association with her father. She could get him to speak, so she got doors opened that wouldn't have opened otherwise. And of course, being Rather's daughter, she probably has money. I always thought she looked like Dan in drag.

I've never met her, but she's on the Barton Creek SOS committee, which is mostly a bunch of hippies, women in comfortable shoes, and malcontents filing lawsuits. Like the Crawford Peace House, they've cultivated a good relationship with the local media, so whenever one of them f*rts, the press covers it, but I don't think any of them have any clout.

I've been out of Austin for a few years, so some Freeps currently living in Austin might be able to give more up to date information.

yep, she's big.

"Big Whig Democrats ..."

Hmmm ... that has such a savory flavor!
