It would be interesting to read the questionaire and/or interview 
responses from the Democrats listed above. It must be a difficult task 
then for the Texas SC to come up with endorsements it feels good about,
since 9 of the 16 Dems with '94 records have a rating below 40, and two 
of the remaining 7 have ratings only in the 50s. I guess they just
endorse the lesser evil.

In case you want to cross-check endorsements next year with voting 
tendencies, this info was taken from "The Almanac of American Politics,"
which should be in any public library. The League of Conservation Voters
may have more detailed literature. They are at (202) 785-8683.
