Texas Democrats Ask Bush To Intervene
It isn't all that likely that the President is going to come to the resuce of the Texas Democrats, a lot of the push for the Republican redistricting in Texas is coming from outside the Texas and I suspect that Bush wouldn't mind having his congressionioanl majority getting beefed up a bit more. The Democrats that wrote to Bush most likely understood this. Their request that he intervene is probably meant to do two things (both of them important), keep the story in the papers and try and force Bush to take a stand on the issue.
