E-Board Waste

The featured photo is the headline of today’s Chron E-Board take. A wasted take may I add. As long as the same folks are running the Texas Democratic Party like for a few decades now, Democrats don’t have a prayer of making gains.  The current chair of the Texas Democratic Party has overstayed his welcome…

Now and Then

Commentary didn’t watch the GOP debate on NBC last night. I saw the highlights. Former Gov. Nikki Haley called the Vivek fella “scum.” She went light on him. I would have called him a POS. _____ I was reviewing the election returns for the H-Town mayoral race. There was one East End precinct with zero…

Runoff

Texas Democratic Party folks don’t want to hear this. 47 years ago, today was the last time a Democratic candidate for president carried the state of Texas. Former President Jimmy Carter won Texas on November 2, 1976. I was the number two person in the Texas Democratic Party GOTV effort that year. _____ The Chron…

No Trick or Treaters

The following is the oldest story of the 2023 H-Town elections. We have been talking about State Sen. John Whitmire’s campaign cash since the very beginning. The Whitmire campaign didn’t get into this race, not knowing if we could spend the campaign money. Have at it from the Chron: State Sen. John Whitmire’s campaign war chest is…

Halloween Today

This is from the Chron on last night’s mayoral debate that aired on Channel 13: U.S. Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee and state Sen. John Whitmire publicly clashed over the alleged audio clip of the congresswoman berating a staffer in an expletive-laden rant, as four of Houston’s mayoral contenders faced off in the final debate before election day. Jackson…
