| Description | In President Bush's home state of Texas, where Republicans have a stranglehold on statewide office, a barrier-shattering Democrat has captured most of the buzz in this year's Senate race.
Now Ron Kirk, a pro-business former mayor of Dallas and the first African-American to win a Senate nomination in Texas, will have to come from behind to pull out a win over Republican state Attorney General John Cornyn.
A victory for Kirk in the race to replace retiring Republican Sen. Phil Gramm would almost certainly ensure Democrats a continued majority in the Senate, and would deal Bush an embarrassing political blow on his home turf.
