Dear Editor, I would think that on the morning of Nov. 8, while sipping his first cup of coffee and reviewing the detailed election returns, state Senator-elect Kirk Watson might have felt a twinge of regret at the race he chose a couple of years back. It occurred to me, so it might have occurred to him, that he could be congressman-elect Watson today. After the 2002 statewide debacle, perhaps he set his sights too low. Travis County clearly voted Democrat in all but the most country-club precincts and will continue to do so for the foreseeable future. The Travis County portion of District 10 is bigger than the Harris County portion. After the sweep of all Travis County state representative seats proved that Tom DeLay overstepped reality, perhaps Watson or Barrientos or Strama or even Mayor Wynn just might be drooling over this 10th Congressional District. Looks to me like it's there for the taking.
