By johncoby@sbcglobal.net (John Coby)

OK. I am going out on a limb here. Winners for 2009:

Melissa Noriega. Her second term as an at-large is in the bag and she deserves it. Very good City Council Member. Congratulations. (unopposed)

Ed Gonzales. Recently won a special election and will return as City Council. Congrats. (unopposed)

James Rodriguez. A great Member of City Council. Returns for his 2nd term. Congrats!!!!

Anne Clutterbuck. Winner. Will return for a third term. Congrats. Her district will continue to be served well.

Jarvis Johnson. Winner. Second term for Jarvis. Good pick.

Wanda Adams. Winner. Second term for Wanda. Another good pick.

Mike Sullivan. I really have no idea what Mike has done or hasn't done for the district especially in Clear Lake, but I do know he isn't well liked and the more he jumps on the anti-Hispanic bandwagon, the more I dislike him.

Would ya please pass the jelly?

By johncoby@sbcglobal.net (John Coby)

Time to pass the jelly because someone in the Houston Mayoral race is toast and that first person is Roy Morales. With the polls ending in about 2 hours, it is pretty safe to say Roy will end the night in a solid 4th or 3rd place depending on the last minute turnout. Maybe that airplane banner flying over Houston this afternoon that said "Vote for Roy Morales" will drive out voters.

Regardless, this is the end of yet another run for a City office for Roy adding to his loss to Peter Brown, and twice to Melissa Noriega. The perpetual candidate should be buttered and jellied because he is now toast.

More toast predictions coming around 7:10PM. Oh...and speaking of passin da jelly:

Recommendations on Houston City elections.

By johncoby@sbcglobal.net (John Coby)

For Mayor: Annise Parker. The City of Houston has an opportunity to elect one of the most qualified and complete candidates Houston has provided to voters in a long time, City Controller Annise Parker. It is just that simple. She has the fiscal knowledge to lead this city in the time of diminishing income due to the recession. She has her 20 years of experience in oil and gas and her 12 years experience on City Council and as Controller. Houston can benefit from Annise Parker as Mayor.

City Controller: Ron Green. A City Council Member for 6 years, owner of a small business, an attorney, and served as chairman of the Budget and Fiscal Affairs Committee.

In defense of Stephen Costello, republican, Democrat, or what

By noreply@blogger.com (John Coby)

Stephen Costello's staff has written a lengthy response to questions about running as republican for the City Council at Large position 1. Unfortunately the lengthy response never addressed the underlining issue: If you have a voting and donation record, why mislead those you are seeking to represent by claiming to be someone you are not.

With all of the internets, it is hard to hide information like this. Donation records are publically available as well as a voting records and Stephen has a clear history of donating to some of the most right wing of his party as well as voting in republican primaries.
