Texas: Houston

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.

I didn't think this was a good idea in the first place.

Peter Brown was featured at a meeting of the Space Advocates today. The "Space Advocates" started out a few years ago as "Space Advocates for Lampson". As a candidate and Congressman, Lampson would always speak to a packed house of those interested in the Space Program. As a member of the Science Committee, Lampson, had exclusive insight into the workings of Congress and kept those in attendance aware of the situation. It was always a great bipartisan event. Once elected, Space Advocates for Lampson was renamed to just Space Advocates.

After the NASA area elected a rookie to Congress, Space Advocates went on a long hiatus until today.

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

Mayor White and Colleagues:

Please do NOT act on Peter Brown's email to you regarding NASA and writing a resolution.

What happened to the black/brown coalition that Gene Locke promised to the Tejano Democrats? From the get-go this was a bad idea not because it wouldn't work, but because it was just a bad idea to segregate and make promises based upon race especially in a city that is so diverse. And lately it looks like Locke has dumped the brown part of the coalition.

Locke hasn't paid much attention to the Hispanic vote except in a negative way. His latest mailer to the west side of Houston, that Stace at Dos Centavos has mentioned, has a picture of the wife of a slain Houston Police Officer.
