March 10, 2004Doggett Wins Hidalgo CountyBy Byron LaMastersLloyd Doggett worked his butt off in South Texas... and it paid off: Hidalgo County: Precincts Reported 54 of 54 Precincts 100.00% Here in Travis County, we came out heavily for Doggett: Lloyd Doggett (I) - 18,272 88.29% You gotta hand it to Lloyd Doggett. He went to south Texas without knowing more than a few words of Spanish, and convinced the people of Hidalgo County that he would be more effective as their representative in Congress than one of their own hometown leaders. Doggett won huge in Travis County, but his margin of victory overall was greater than his margin of victory in Travis County. That says a lot. Wow. Overall, Doggett won big: U. S. Representative District 25 Precincts Reported 227 of 227 Precincts 100.00% Austin will continue to have a progressive voice of our own in Congress. Thank you, Lloyd Doggett. We all look up to you for leadership in Congress. Posted by Byron LaMasters at March 10, 2004 03:46 AM | TrackBack

*bounces excitedly* Go Lloyd! I'm not in his district anymore, but boy am I glad he came out on top. Posted by: Karin at March 10, 2004 09:49 AMNow to take out Barrientos! Doggett still my rep and Ron Wilson gone...a surprisingly good election day! Posted by: Blue at March 10, 2004 01:03 PMBefore we talk of replacing Gonzo, remember, he has been EXCELLENT in the State Senate. He had a spine and stood up to Republicans when most other Democrats pussied out and voted with Republicans on Tort Reform, the budget, tuition deregulation, etc. In fact, the only 3 Senators that did not wimp out on some major legislation were Barrientos, Shapleigh (El Paso), and Gallegos (Houston). These three deserve a lot of credit for standing up for Texans in the Senate. I was too disappointed that Gonzo endorsed someoe other than Doggett, but let's get it behind us and move on and save our energies for the Rethuglicans.

I agree completely. I am terribly disappointed in Gonzo, BUT I plan on voting for him since he votes the way I want him to.
