Texas: Brown

After spending over $3 Million, Peter Brown came in 3rd place to Gene Locke and Annise Parker in the race for Houston Mayor. I am sure many, including Rick Casey of the Houston Chronicle, will analyze what happened and why it happened. So here is my two sense.

Peter actually ran a pretty good TV and mail campaign focusing on a clear message: He has a blueprint for Houston. And with $3 Million at his disposal, he was able to repeat this message over and over and over.....and over, which is the perfect blueprint for getting peoples attention. Unfortunately it did not turn into enough votes.

This has the makings of a great party. Lots of excitement. Just announced at the blogger table Annise 29.2 Locke 27.4 Brown 25.1 and Morales 17.25. Staff is very excited. Beer is not free. Crowd just got a glimpse of the results. Everyone is happy. So far.....

Morales. The biker vote must have come out because no one predicted 17% of the vote. This should be exciting. State Representative Jessica Farrar just walked into the room make the rounds.

More later.

Oops! I Did it again to your heart. Got lost In this game; oh, baby.

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.

Council Member Mike Sullivan wasn't very happy about Peter Brown's meddling in his district once concerning the Clear Lake Community Association and another concerning NASA. He probably isn't going to be very happy this Thursday when Brown starts another NASA battle, much like the time Peter Griffin got into a turf war with a cat.

All Space program supporters are invited to a Space Town Hall Meeting and Lunch. Thursday, Oct. 29, 12 Noon to 1:30 pm. at Franca’s Real Italian Restaurant, 1101 NASA Parkway, Houston.

Featuring, Nick Lampson, former U.S. Congressman, Dist. 22 and
Peter Brown, Houston mayoral candidate and City Councilman.

In the past when Brown called for a resolution in support of NASA (as if there was any question about it) Sullivan responded in an email to the Mayor:

From: Sullivan, Mike - CNL

To: Fiederlein, Robert - CNL; Mayor Bill White
