The Roundtable General Election Pick’em Pool was released yesterday. Here’s how you score. You get more points if you pick an underdog and the dog wins. For example, if you pick Hunker Down and he wins, you only get 2 points. If you pick Gordon Quan and he wins, you get 18 points. A winning Guv Dude pick is worth 2 points and a winning Former H-Town Mayor pick is worth 20 points. Here some other point matchups if you pick them right:
Ann Harris Bennett 10, Stan Stanart 10.
Loren Jackson 5, Chris Daniels 15.
Trautman 10, Summers 10.
Harris County Republican Judicial Sweep 20, Dem Sweep 50.
It looks like the composers of the ballot think the GOP is going to do better than the Dems in Harris County. We will see!

There was a bit of an increase with African American Early Voters but I still 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.
