GOP sweeps Texas electioi
(AP) — The Grand Old Party pulled off a grand
display of political power, taking all statewide
offices in a Texas-sized show of allegiance tor
President Bush.
Incumbent Gov. Rick Perry easily won election
Tuesday to the post he assumed when Bush was
promoted to the White House. State Attorney
General John Comyn was tapped to fill the seat of
U.S. Sen. Phil Gramm, who is stepping down.
David Dewhurst moved from the land commis
sioner’s office to lieutenant governor, perhaps the
most powerful position in state government.
With most of the votes counted. Perry polled 58
percent to 40 percent for Laredo banker Tony
Sanchez, who spent at least $59 million of his own
money. Comyn had 55 percent to 43 percent for
Ron Kirk, the former Dallas mayor who would have
been the first black senator from the state.
Sanchez declined to concede late Tuesday
because he still expected a close finish - final totals
were delayed because of problems counting ballots
in two of the state’s most populous counties, Bexar
and Tarrant. But in a Wednesday morning speech.
Sanchez said he had called Perry to congratulate
him. Kirk acknowledged Tuesday night that the vot
ers had spoken.
Not this Election Day. when Republicans flexed
their muscle across the country. In Texas, they ral
lied behind their presidential native son, who
appeared in the state as late as Monday to sb,
port for GOP candidates.
Texas Democrats put together a racially,
ticket with a business-friendly attitude b
clearly wasn’t enough to offset wann feel
President Bush. The gubernatorial earn
recent weeks centered on the state’s growintl
owners' insurance crisis, questions atai
business dealings and respect forlawenfo
Comyn maintained that Kirk is too i
to out-of-state liberals and soft on defense;
Kirk countered that he forged a bipartisanreptia
as mayor and was better suited to work witfi
of both parties.
In the race for lieutenant governor, fet
depicted Sharp as an out-of-step liberal,i
touted support from business leaders. Dewhiraf
paced John Sharp 52 percent to 46 percent
In legislative races, the GOP won contra
Texas House for the first time in 130 yet
retained control of the Texas Senate.
Texans voted on 32 U.S. House races, in
six in which an incumbent was without major-p
opposition and three more that were

Mass roadkill grave angers official
STOCKB RIDGE, Mass.
(AP) — The discovery of a mass
grave for roadkill in the median
of the Massachusetts Turnpike
has outraged officials in this pic
turesque community.
Town officials said they were
unaware that the broad, wooded
median held thousands of car
casses of animals killed along
the roadway and that the site had
apparently been in use for
decades, until recently.
“1 want to know why the
Turnpike Authority would drive
dead animals 50 to 100 miles to
dump them in our town,” said J.
Cristopher Irsfield, who chairs
the Board of Selectmen in
Stockbridge. At their Monday
night meeting, selectmen direct
ed their attorney to research the
disposal site’s legality.
Engineers hired by the
Turnpike were scheduled to
