...campaign trail. Edwards, a popular Democratic incumbent in President George W. Bush's home district, was one of nine Representatives out of Texas' 32-person delegation to vote for the bill. (Even four of the five Texas Republicans whom Bush called personally voted against it.) Meanwhile, Democrat Lloyd Doggett, from the Austin area, has found himself in the unusual position of being hailed by liberals and conservatives alike for voting against the bill. His Austin district office had been bombarded with e-mails and phone calls in opposition to the bill. Most Texans don't see any real signs...
...while Clinton still has the support of most of the state's Democratic congressmen, Obama has won over two of the state's savviest members of Congress, U.S. Representatives Chet Edwards of Waco and Lloyd Doggett of Austin.

Nevertheless, because of industry lobbying, Doggett's bill has never made it out of committee...
...those events we'll still be arguing about over soft food in the nursing home. They were the first hearings for high stakes played with no rules. The proceedings felt to Thomas like "a high-tech lynching," to Anita Hill like character assassination. (Republicans dredged up the infamous John Doggett 3d, a lawyer who testified that Hill was an erotomaniac for thinking he would ever condescend to date her.) To the rest of us, the hearings felt like must-see TV. Hill said Thomas was a frequent consumer of pornography whose conversations with the female staff were laced with sexually...
