===1948 Texas Senate===
===1948 Texas Senate===
In 1948, [[Lyndon Johnson]], an obscure congressman opposed to [[President Harry Truman]]’s civil rights program and was a supporter of what he called “the anti-Communist Taft- Hartley labor bill,” was running for the Democratic Senate nomination in [[Texas]]. In those days obtaining the Democratic nomination was tantamount to winning the general election.
