Kirk defeats Morale:
<
DALLAS (AP) — Democratic Party favorite
Ron Kirk defeated schoolteacher Victor Morales
Tuesday in a sizzling Senate runoff to decide who
battles the Goliath GOP nominee in the fall.
With 97 percent of precincts reporting, Kirk
had 350,584 votes, or 59 percent, and Morales
had 244,558 votes, or 41 percent.
In the end, Kirk’s money, party support and
backing from several high-profile Hispanic lead
ers hoisted him to victory over Morales, a part-
time campaigner who was grossly underfunded.
Kirk, the former mayor of Dallas, is the first
black nominated in Texas for a U.S. Senate seat.
“I feel great, absolutely relieved and exhaust
ed,” Kirk said after learning of his win.
Without conceding defeat. Morales told sup
porters at an Austin Mexican restaurant that he
was glad he ran and had no regrets.
“In terms of feeling down or sad, you’re going
to have to look someplace else,” Morales said, as
he continued to bash the Democrats who backed
Kirk. “I thoroughly, completely distrust the
every statewide office.
Palestinians surrender to Israeli forces in the West Bank city of Nablus Tuesday.
Palestinians ambush Israeli
soldiers in refugee camp
JENIN, West Bank (AP) —
Palestinians ambushed Israeli
troops in the cramped quarters
of a West Bank refugee camp
Tuesday, setting off a suicide
bomb trap in a narrow alley and
firing on soldiers in a court
yard, the military said. Thirteen
Israelis were killed, the biggest
blow to the army in its West
Bank offensive.
The carefully planned dou
ble attack in the Jenin refugee
camp also wounded nine Israeli
soldiers. A military spokesman
said a rapid series of blasts went
off in the alley — one of them
detonated by a suicide bomber
— and collapsed part of a build
ing on several soldiers.
Defying U.S. demands that
Israel’s 12-day-old campaign
wrap up without delay. Prime
Minister Ariel Sharon vowed
“Operation Defensive Shield”
will go on until it fulfills its
mission — “the destruction of
the infrastructure of the terror
groups.”
“This is a battle for survival
of the Jewish people, for sur
vival of the state of Israel,”
Sharon said on Israel TV.
There were signs, however,
that U.S. efforts were having an
effect. Earlier Tuesday, Israel
pulled out of Tulkarem and
Qalqiliya, two of six
Palestinian towns it has occu
pied; troops remained in
Nablus, Bethlehem, Jenin and
Ramallah and several villages.
Secretary of State Colin
Powell, due to arrive in Israel
late Thursday, said he was opti-
Democrat Party leadership.”
Kirk's victory completes a diverse, statm
ticket hand-picked by Democratic leadersttr
ter represent Texas' population.
"We are the true Texas, and we have the ■
ity to make their dreams come true,” KirU
"We are going to win from top to bottom."
