<P> </P>
<P>I was chief of staff to a state senator in the Texas Legislature for 10 years. This was way before Senator Watson was elected and I know nothing about him. </P>
<P> </P>
<P>But he must have a poor staff if he went on national TV without information on Obama's legislative accomplishements. He should asked either his own staff or the Obama campaign for talking points, including legislation.</P>
<P> </P>
<P>In my current job, off the top of my head, I could name you several things Obama has done in the U.S. Senate. And with just a few minutes of research, I'm sure I could add to that list.</P>
<P> </P>
<P>Chris Matthews was tough but could have been even tougher. He could have asked, "So, you think he will be an inspirational leader but has not actually done anthing at all while serving in the Senate? What kind of inspiration is that?"<BR><BR><STRONG><FONT color=#0000ff size=3>Art</FONT></STRONG></P><BR>--- On <B>Tue, 6/24/08, Dianne Dawson <I><rcdianne@yahoo.com></I></B> wrote:<BR>
