Of course, we’re still learning about voting early in person.  At first glance however, it looks like the GOP areas are bit more enthused here in Harris County – at least through the second day of Early Voting in Person.

Meanwhile, the Chron has a front page story on next year’s congressional redistricting in the Lone Star State and the resources that are being poured into state by both political parties heading into November.   Check out the story.

In the piece, here is what the DNC Chair had to say:  “The DNC has invested pretty heavily in Texas and that’s not something we’ve done in the past.”

Based on two days of Early Voting, I don’t think the resources have hit the Latino communities in the H-Town area.  I’ve been out and about and I haven’t seen any activity in the ‘hood.

This past weekend I got a tiny card/letter from the State Democratic Executive Committee letting me know that I was part of the Hispanic Voter Project and that I was supposed to spread the word to other Latinos about going to vote.  The card included an autographed picture of my old pal Henry Cisneros and our nominee for Lite Guv.  They got to do a lot better than that to get Latinos to the polls. 

Who holds the record for most career walk off dingers in regular season play?

At last night’s debate, the Former H-Town Mayor passed on giving The President a rating.  I don’t know about that.   I’m sure some of the Dem base voters aren’t too happy about that if you know what I mean.

Speaking of, NBC and the Wall Street Journal released a poll last night and it is not good news for Dems nationally.  Here is what was said:  NBC/WSJ co-pollster Peter Hart (D) said. “It’s hard to say that the Democrats are facing anything less than a Category 4 hurricane.” Adds co-pollster Bill McInturff: “The Democrats … are facing very, very difficult arithmetic.”

Supreme Associate Justice Clarence Thomas’s wife called Anita Hill over the past weekend and wants to visit and get an apology.  I guess she wants to sit down over a can of Coke…awwww!

Mickey Mantle of course has a dozen career walk off regular season dingers.  If Mickey Mantle were still around, he’d be celebrating his 79th BD today.

I drove by The Yard yesterday and nothing was going on.
