I was out at some of the locations in Northwest Harris County and there were long lines but there were a lot of folks of color. You look at the locations up in Northwest and West Harris County and they had a bit more enthusiasm on Day 1 but we don’t know if that spells problems for Dems after all the campaigns of some Dems running out there may be getting some of their supporters out. Let’s see what happens today.
At 38 years, 1 month, and 18 days old, this pitcher is the oldest to ever throw a complete game shutout in the World Serious. Name the pitcher?
The Chron E-Board today endorsed Ann Johnson for HD 134.
You have to be completed addicted to the GOP talking points if you thought that Mitt Romney came close to winning last night’s debate. There are 14 days to go then a break from the talking point heads.
Randy “The Big Unit” Johnson of course is the oldest pitcher to toss a complete game 4-0 shutout in Game 2 of the 2001 World Serious.
There is no news from The Yard.
