Texas loses more Democrats

It's happened again. Before the Governor could call a second special session to try and ram through the re-districting thats already struck out twice, Texas state Senate Democrats have bolted for Albuquerque.

Eleven Senate Democrats did not show up today for the beginning of a second 30-day special legislative session called by Republican Gov. Rick Perry to advance GOP desires to redraw congressional districts to give them more U.S. House seats. Their absence immediately prevented the Senate from convening because it lacked a quorum, or 21 of 31 members.
