SAN ANTONIO (AP) -- Republicans are still hot over the loss of two congressional districts to Democrats in 2006 -- especially the one that had been held by House Majority Leader Tom DeLay -- and they're looking to win them back this fall.
But first, they must choose their challengers in the March 4 primary. Both seats drew multiple GOP candidates eager to take on incumbent Democratic Reps. Nick Lampson in the 22nd District and Ciro Rodriguez in the 23rd District.
National Republicans have set their sights on finding someone who might evict Lampson and Rodriguez in November.
''These are the ball game, absolutely,'' said Hans Klingler, the state GOP spokesman.
