Texas: Annise Parker

David Ortez writes about Gene Locke pandering to the soccer crowd at a Houston Dynamo game and posts a scan of his low cost campaign flyer his staff was handing out to the fans.

The literature falsely claimed "Annise Parker says she won’t “fund more museums and stadiums …*”" which is not what Annise said, or believes, but facts don't seem to matter to team Locke at this stage of the campaign. Parker has stated very clearly her position on additional spending while in the middle of dwindling income. Obviously Locke is clueless on this issue as well as soccer games.

Roy Morales gets over 20% of the vote. That is a shocker. The man is clueless. Absolutely clueless and yet 20% of the voters want him as Mayor. Clue-frickin-less.

Peter Brown is in third place. After spending $3.2 Million of his wife's money, he is going to have a very long long Christmas season coming in 3rd place. How can you lose after spending $3.2 Million? Or come in 3rd. Kudus to the voters of Houston.

Gene Locke. Coming in 2nd place. That is a shocker to Peter Brown. So far he looks to be in a run off with Annise Parker. Everyone expected him to peak at 3rd. Maybe he will just peak at 2nd.

C.O. Bradford. I just don't get it. With all of his baggage with the crime lab, the voters of Houston put him back in office. Shocking. Just frickin shocking.

Oops! I Did it again to your heart. Got lost In this game; oh, baby.
Oops! You Think that I'm sent from above... I'm not that innocent.
--Britney Spears. Oops I did it again.

Candidate for Mayor Peter Brown did it again. As I said yesterday, With unlimited wealth you can expect Brown to continue his air attack and mailers attacking his opponents. And sure enough he did it again. According to Muse:
Brown sent out a mail piece that attacked both Annise Parker and Gene Locke. I heard it was sent to women Republican voters. You can see it right here. The Chron has Mayor White's response.

Candidate for Houston Mayor did it again making an issue out of nothing, but this time he got called on it. The Houston Organization of Public Employees (HOPE) issued a sharply worded letter concerning Locke's misunderstanding of Annise Parker's comments on budget cuts.
HOUSTON, TX - In response to the recent attacks on City of Houston workers and members of HOPE from Mayoral candidate Gene Locke, HOPE members would like to set the record straight. In a Locke campaign statement, they [Locke campaign] quote Controller Parker pledging to find "efficiencies" in city operations.

“Perhaps, Mr. Locke is unaware City Controller Annise Parker has already worked with front-line city employees to identify waste and eliminate unnecessary spending,” said Melvin Hughes, President of HOPE.
