I don't blame them. If they lose a Congresssional seat now they probably won't ever get it back. On the other hand Stenholm has a pretty conservative voting record. The only thing he doesn't do is vote for the Repblicans to organize Congress. Whenever Stenholm decides to retire, his district will probably elect a Republican. Considering he only received 51% of the vote when he ran for reelection in 2002, that retirement might not be voluntary.

Lubbock . . . what a miserable hole. Dust storms and tarantulas. Blech. Give me my 95% humidity any day.

But it still beats Amarillo.

Translation: Dumbasses will defend their handouts to farmers at the expense of the Republican majority in the US House.
