Ever notice how often Silver posts press releases in the Times announcing federal grant funds being awarded in El Paso? He likes to imply that he had something to do with the money coming in, even when he had nothing to do with it at all. What else can he do. He lives on his longevity. People here believe that sending someone new gives up the "gains" we have made by having a "senior" congressman, it is evident to me that his senority has not gained him any respect or consideration from his party leadership

I think this is just the way the game is played, you know: if you say something often enough (whether it's true or not) it becomes "truth" to some like when Norma Chavez goes on and on about bringing us the Medical School because that's what Craddick tried to sell when he let her step forward to accept credit. Craddick, that beacon of honesty and integrity

See, I think it's more about where the spin comes from sometimes, too that, and how much money is invested in making sure that certain "progressive" goals are met you have to remember that party "leadership" doesn't preclude the party's own self-destructive tendencies
