This is from last night’s story by Channel 11’s Doug Miller on a poll they conducted:
Annise Parker seems headed for a runoff in her campaign to keep her job, but she commands more than twice as many supporters as her leading challenger in a newly released poll commissioned by KHOU 11 News and KUHF – Houston Public Radio.
Still, just six weeks before Election Day, roughly half of all surveyed voters either didn’t know or wouldn’t say how they’re going to vote.
Parker leads the pack of candidates at 34 percent, with former city attorney Ben Hall at 14 percent. About 48 percent of voters are classified as undecided, indicating the incumbent mayor will have to fight to keep the post to which she was narrowly re-elected two years ago.
“I don’t see the mayor losing this race,” said Bob Stein, the KHOU political analyst who conducted the survey. “I’m not certain she’ll win it in the general election, like she did in 2011. But the mayor, who tends to get high marks as a mayor, simply doesn’t get what I’d call great public support as a candidate.”
So the big question is to runoff or not to runoff.
Should the 48% undecided surprise folks in the know? Well, has anyone seen a TV ad lately or a piece of mail? Enough said!
The Pirates are in the playoffs after 21 years. Their record is 90-67. What was their regular season record in 1992 – the last time they made the playoffs?
According to the ratings, absolutely nobody in the H-Town area watched the ‘Stros this past Sunday. I didn’t because I had the football game on. What else did you expect?
It is just wild. I’m talking about the Wild Card races in the AL. The Rays and The Tribe are being chased by the Rangers, KC, Yankees and B’More.
Here is how it looks for the next six days. The Rays are at Yankee Stadium for three then close out the season with three in Toronto.
The Tribe host the White Sox for two then close out the season in Minnesota with four.
The Rangers host the ‘Stros for two and host the Angels for four. They have a shot.
Here are the long shots. KC has two in Seattle then close out with four in Chicago against the White Sox.
The Yankees host the Rays for three then visit The Yard for three.
B’More host the Jays for three then host the Red Sox for three.
In the NL, the playoff teams are set with three teams battling for the NL Central title – San Luis, Cinncy and the Pirates.
San Luis host the Nats for two and then host the Cubbies for three.
Cinncy host the Mets for two and host the Pirates for three.
The Pirates are at Wrigley for two then head to Cinncy for three.
The 1992 Pirates were 96-66 of course.
We’re 51-106 and stink real bad.
