How Trial Lawyer Fred Baron Saved the Texas Dems
The article about the $5 million political group funded by Fred Baron say it's this guy Matt Angle, but it seems to me the money made the real difference:
the Democratic Trust provided crucial dollars, research and ideas, especially considering that six Democrats won Republican House seats in 2006 and 2008 by fewer than 1,000 votes.This millionaire's money helped House Reps Strama, Bolton, Moldanado, and others in their local central Texas races via Annie's List. Millionaire funded strategies like this seem to be the SOP for the Democrats. Billionaire liberal George Soros funds national groups. Gay-activist millionaire Ted Gill in Colorado funds multi-million effort to turn that state blue, and succeeds. And a millionaire trial lawyer helps the Texas House go almost Democratic. In all cases, the elites and special interests have been the unseen puppetmasters of the Democrat's successful political strategies.
Trial lawyer money has been running the Texas Democratic party for years. Baron also gave 'hush money' to the woman who had John Edwards' (another trial lawyer turned politician) love child. Trial lawyers are like leeches on the economy; they get rich on the mistakes of others and rob victims of accidents a second time. It this time of economic distress, they are the last people we should be turning to for political advice or support. Anyone who takes their money should be turned out of office. That includes the local pro-abort Annie's List takers.

Trial lawyers not only picked the Texas House Speaker, but may have also the Parliamentarian. See Kathleen McKinley's post at http://www.mytexasmag.com/blog/news/politics/trouble-house to see how Denise Davis is closely tied to Houston trial lawyer and Democratic financier Steve Mostyn.
