This would only happen if Gramm were caught boinking his underage babysitter in a church on Sunday, or something along those lines.
This seems like a major blunder on Gramm's part, especially the part about Social Security. In baseball terms, this is a hanging curve ball right down the middle of the plate!Also, Doggett *did* try to make the race about economic issues: "He accused Gramm of attempting to cut Social Security and of calling for the eventual elimination of federal education aid." *CQ's Politics in America 1990*, p. 1426. Obviously, it didn't work.
So, Lloyd has the confidence to have a sense of humor. Good for him!Doggett Wins Senate Nomination In Texas Over Hance by 509

Liberal state Sen. Lloyd Doggett defeated conservative Rep. Kent Hance by 509 votes out of nearly 1 million cast Saturday in a Democratic Senate primary runoff that is headed for a recount.
"I claim victory as 'Landslide Lloyd,' " Doggett, 37, joked at a news conference today following a night of drama that saw him edge into the lead only after more than 98 percent of the ballots had been tallied. . .

AUSTIN — Three decades after it became law, the landmark schools package passed by the Legislature in the summer of 1984 [emphasis added] still affects Texas children and teachers every day — and fuels ongoing debates about education in the state.
The no-pass, no-play rule, the 22-pupil in elementary schools, prekindergarten classes for disadvantaged children and high school graduation tests were all provisions of the law, pushed by Dallas billionaire Ross Perot.
