Ogden's only hope: nudging more fellow Rs to bless a rainy-day dip

Sen. Steve Ogden's stuck. The Senate's chief budget writer can't whip all 19 Senate Republicans into line behind spending $3 billion of rainy-day money to avoid House-style cuts to schools and social programs.
Topping most lists of Republicans who are suspected to be the holdouts in the Senate GOP caucus are Sens. Dan Patrick of Houston and Brian Birdwell of Granbury.
