Not much is changing in Early Voting in Person in these parts.

In 2008, Clear Lake was 3.3% of total county Early Vote. Through yesterday, they were 5.1%.

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 ninth day of Early Voting in Person.
I don’t have a good feeling about where things are headed. The local Dem Party better have a kick-arse GOTV program for African American and Latino voters this weekend.
Who holds the World Serious career RBI record?
