Okay, I’ve been meaning to write about the Ted Cruz – David Dewhurst race for a bit but got sidetracked by the birth of my first grandchild! Pictures here – hey, I’m a grandpa now, I can do that stuff. It was a shellacking. No doubt about that. But in answer to all of the [...]
One last chance: Dewhurst vs. Cruz
July 26, 2012 By
At the bizarro Downtown Houston Pachyderm Club meeting today, my good friend Don Hooper advised me that there was one more chance to see a debate between surrogates for the Cruz/Dewhurst campaigns. Cruz vs. Dewhurst Battle of the Surrogates This Friday’s HPRA lunchtime presentation will feature two gentlemen representing the two camps in the fight [...]
Downtown Houston Pachyderm Meeting 7-26-12
July 26, 2012 By
Well, sometimes, people disappoint you. Or, in this case, disappoint me. I wasn’t certain that the Downtown Houston Pachyderm Club was meeting today because there was no information on the website or Facebook, but I took a chance and drove downtown anyway. Fortunately, they were meeting. Hey, I’m a member in good standing (I guess, [...]

July 24, 2012 By
Well, the last televised debate of the long campaign to replace retiring US Senator Kay Bailey Hutchison has come and gone. The end is near. The decision is up to you – will you choose Lt. Gov.

Texas US Senate race campaign finance
February 16, 2012 By

Mostly because I like charts but also so that I [...]
Ted Cruz speaks at the RHCIA monthly meeting
February 7, 2012 By
I’ll say this for the Republican Hispanic Citizens in Action group and their founder/cheerleader Bernadette McLeroy – they sure have grown since they moved their monthly meetings from the inner loop Casa Grande to the outer loop Cafe Adobe. This was my first visit since they moved locations and the upstairs room was packed. I’ll [...]

August 12, 2011 By
The Clear Lake Tea Party and the Alliance of Constitutional Patriots sponsored a candidate forum for candidates seeking the senate seat currently held by Sen. Kay Baily Hutchison last night on the University of Houston-Clear Lake campus. State Rep. John Davis (R-129) paid for the facility rental. The forum was well attended, it started at [...]
Leppert claims 3 to 1 lead in cash on hand vs Cruz
July 26, 2011 By
Campaign finance reports are interesting reading. No, really. Try it some day and you'll see what I mean. And comparing campaign finance reports to campaign finance report press releases is even more interesting because it reveals the numbers behind the numbers. And in the race to replace Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison, the numbers behind the [...]
