I have met both, do not know them on a close friend basis, my read is I don't know, and that's what worries me. If both of them dig in, this third session is going to be a huge embarrassment for Texas Republicans. I have seen a map that gives Craddick a 19th going halfway up the panhandle and leaving San Angelo alone, but he won't buy that. This comes down to internicene leftovers from the Combest special election. Craddick's boy lost to Lubbock's Nuegemyer (which I am sure I have just spelled wrong) by 550 votes, and Craddick wants a lock on a Congressional seat. Fine, we have a map that gives him that, why does he fixate on Angelo? Maybe someone with a brain will set the two of them down this weekend and tell them how the cow eat the cabbage, but I ain' betting on it. Austin right now has the highest per capita content of inflated egos and hurt feelings and grudge matches in the country, and I'm not even including the Democrats. If we self destruct, Whitmire may yet get recognition as the Dems party strategist.
