Keeping a watch on Texas Rep Doggett

As you all know, Lloyd Doggett is one of the main reasons the repugs pushed redistricting.
They thought they had got rid of him, but he moved from the 10th to the 25th district. He has a tough primary challenge. However, if he wins the primary, he will be in a safe Dem district.

Anyway, here is a site with up-to-date info on his race.

1% in
Doggett - 86%
Hinojosa - 14%

Don't let these numbers fool you, they are only from precincts in Austin (Doggett's old district was must of Austin). It will get closer. Let's hope he holds on.

5. I wish I could be happy about that

But I am much more pissed off. http://www.house.gov/hinojosa/ can't be re-elected. And he's a dem too (though Doggett is most probably better). Getting shafted by redistricting. %#*(&#% Delay. #(*%#*#%&*9 Craddick.

6. Different Hinojosa

Congressman Ruben Hinojosa is going to be reelected.

It is Leticia Hinojosa who challenged Lloyd Doggett.

7. Chris Bell lost the primary

I guess that Tom DeLay won a victory tonight by breaking the democratic party up in Texas along racial lines.

Al Green, the former head of the Houston NAACP, beat him.

8. Just checked the site and the #s are very strange!

237 of 227 precincts reporting

104.41%

What's up with that!
