When do we see the articles about the post-election trend of Republicans winning? If only dems won these races we'd be hearing about "incredible coattails"--will we see pieces about "buyer's remorse"?

Good news BUMP!
Hopefully Texas can strike another blow against that favorite Democrat laundromat for campaign funds, the “jackpot justice” trial lawyers.
To: BnBlFlag
GOODBYE Chris! (But of course I'm sure we'll be seeing him in the next mayor's race - esp. if Bill White goes for Hutchison’s senate seat.)

I just barely miss being in this district, but I’d been seeing Huffman’s commercials, and rooting for her to win. Her commericial states that she’ll take border security seriously, and I certainly hope that will be the case (I used to take such pronouncements at face-value, but after Rick Perry made similar sounds during his campaign, and then immediately welched, I’ve grown increasingly wary).

Huffman, 52, said the state should intensify efforts to help federal agencies secure the border with Mexico. A conservative wins? I guess colon bowell is disappointed.

Clearly, a recount is needed. /sarc
Republican Joan Huffman defeated Democrat Chris Bell in Tuesday's runoff election for a Houston-area seat in the Texas Senate, setting a new high for the number of women in the 31-member legislative chamber. With votes from all precincts counted, Huffman, a former judge and prosecutor, had 56 percent against the former congressman and Houston councilman, according to results that will be made final and official in a few days.

Houston PING.
Wonder if Chris Bell will run (and lose) a race for dog catcher next.
Career politician of the worst sort.

Bill White is gone regardless of whether he runs for Governor or Senator or joins the Obama administration.
He is term limited out. But as another Democrat wonk, he will continue to haunt our lives and oppress.

I think I saw him and Lampson face down puking in the same gutter this morning on the way to work.
