Top two finishers must face off. Phelan was in second place.

Hallelujah... and good riddance to bad rubbish, as the saying goes. Things seem to be looking up.

Phelan is still in the running. He and Covey meet in a May runoff. Phelan’s hold on Beaumont is hard to crack.

Phelan hasn’t lost, has he? He’s in a runoff.

There is a good chance that Phelan can be defeated in a runoff when the turnout is miniscule. But maybe not. Beaumonters are a stubborn lot.

People are just so uninformed that they just vote for a name they seem to recognize in so many races.

That's what I hear. Darn! Runoff is May 28, so we have to wait until then to get rid of him.

Good news is not many expected to see him get below 50%, so he is beatable.

Hmm looks like we celebrated too early. He has a better than even chance of winning the runoff.

When an incumbent/Speaker of the House is forced into a runoff, I suspect he has little chance of winning the runoff. Even if he eeks out a win, he will be damaged politically and will have a difficult time being elected speaker once again. Unfortunately, the Democrats and the RINOs may rally around another RINO for speaker who will give committee chairs to Democrats.

This is, unfortunately, not true. There will be a runoff.
