At first glance, this doesn’t look like a strong week for attending political events. But if you look a little closer, this week has the makings of a landmark week in Harris County if you are a Republican primary voter. One of the most intriguing events is a public meeting of the United Republicans of [...]

Jerry Patterson comes to town
March 21, 2013 By
Land Commissioner Jerry Patterson, now running for Lt. Governor, made a couple of stops in Houston this week. Because of the importance of the race, I made it a point to be at both of Mr. Patterson’s appearances. I wanted to see how Mr. Patterson “performed” in front of two very different audiences: the Clear [...]
Sen. Dan Patrick at the Rally for School Choice
November 15, 2012 By
Glad I received the last minute notice of the “Rally for Tuition Affordability” held at the Robert Beren Academy in Southwest Houston this afternoon. There were several things that I learned about the issue and it helped me to understand better the forces behind the push for “vouchers” in Texas. The Beren Academy is a [...]
Lt. Gov. David Dewhurst on Texas’ economic success
September 22, 2012 By
After his unsuccessful run for US Senator, Texas Lt. Gov. David Dewhurst probably felt like he was the inspiration for “The Eyes of Texas Are Upon You“. Seems like every political pundit in Texas has written an obituary that has him curling up and withering away, afraid to show his face in public. Fortunately for [...]
Ted Cruz – David Dewhurst wrap up
August 9, 2012 By
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 [...]
David Dewhurst: let’s fight until the polls close!
July 31, 2012 By
If you are, like me, a supporter of a man with a great conservative record, Lt. Gov. David Dewhurst, then you might be disheartened by the noise coming from the Washington media that the race for US Senator is over. Don’t be! This race isn’t over and we need every vote we can get! I [...]
Dannie votes for Dew, gets taste of own medicine
July 27, 2012 By
Heh, you gotta love it when someone gets a taste of their own medicine! For years, Dan Patrick sat behind the microphone of KSEV in Houston and blasted every politician in sight. No matter what they did, they were wrong and Dannie let them know it. His rhetoric was only exceeded by his hypocrisy, leading [...]
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 [...]
