Should we be disappointed or surprised that the turnout in Round 1 of the SD6 Special was just under 6%? After all, in Round 1 both campaigns combined spent over a million in field, ads, and mail and less that 17,000 took the time to vote.
We should be disappointed but not surprised.
This is a race folks aren’t talking about at the office. The race isn’t on CNN, MSNBC or Fox News.
In Commentary’s opinion, the local media hasn’t given the race the coverage it deserves.
Folks here aren’t used to going to the polls in January or February.
Some folks probably think that either way a Dem is going to get elected so why invest in thinking about making a pick.
There is probably a little bit of voter exhaustion going on since we just went through a hectic 2012 with late primaries and runoffs and the November elections.
It’s still disappointing.
Excuses, reasons, or factors, or all of the above!
Everyone knows that B-G-O leads the ‘Stros in getting hit by pitches all time with 285 dings. Name the ‘Stro who is numero 2 on the all time list?
Congress needs to adopt the shot clock of sorts. U.S. Senator John Cornyn is playing the stall tactic card when it comes to immigration reform. Check this from the SA Express News:
“I believe we have a long, long way to go,” Cornyn said
Check out the entire piece here.
Here’s the deal. He can stall all he wants but it is going to bite GOP candidates in the arse in 2014 in districts throughout the country where there are a significant number of Latino voters.
Sen. Cornyn might be OK in 2014, but he is not doing his party any favors by being part of the stall game. He’s not looking at the big picture.
On the St. Valentine’s Day Commentary wants to give a shout out to the women of the campaign including MariGirl, Vilma, Priscilla, Darcy, Brenda, Yolanda, Ida, Sheryl, Pat, Lisi, and Gaby! They are doing a heck of a job! I also want to give a special shout out to Carol – the hardest working candidate on the planet!
BTW: We’re numero 1 on the ballot!
Commentary is going to try to give up salty language, err swearing for lent.
The President’s mug across the street from the Breakfast Klub got vandalized again. Those guys ought to get a security camera installed or ask for Secret Service protection if you ask me.
Baggy of course is second on the ‘Stros all time list for getting dinged at the plate with 128.
Some fella named Robert Ford and former MLB pitcher Steve Sparks will be in the radio booth for the ‘Stros this season. They met each other for the first time yesterday. I guess that’s how they do things at The Yard these days.
Happy Valentine’s Day and trying spreading the love for Carol today!
