The Weekend before Christmas

A couple of weeks or so ago a good friend of mine sent me a poll conducted by Public Policy Polling on the H-Town Mayoral contest in 2015. I guess they sent it to me because they wanted me to put it online. The poll was conducted last month, November 20 – 21. I asked for the crosstabs but have yet to receive. I will go on and put out the horserace. Here:

Public Policy Polling

Chris Bell ……………………………………………….. 24%
C.O. Brad Bradford ………………………………….. 12%
Steve Costello…………………………………………. 4%
Adrian Garcia………………………………………….. 11%
Sue Lovell ………………………………………………. 3%
Orlando Sanchez …………………………………….. 9%
Sylvester Turner……………………………………… 15%
Someone else/Not sure ……………………………. 22%

I am sure folks have their favorites for Mayor in 2015 so if you have your own poll, come on down.

It is kind of a light day so what else am I supposed to do?

Commentary won’t be able to make the Alison and Chris Bell party tomorrow evening but I am sure they will have a lot of supporters, err, friends there.

What was Babe Ruth’s real name?

Quack, quack, quack, quacked the Duck fans. The Governor of Louisiana even complained that Miley Cyrus got a pass – huh. I am sorry Governor but twerking isn’t hating.

Let’s see! We voted on extending the light rail in November of 2003 and we are finally getting a line open just over ten years later. Go North/Red Line. I wonder if former Mayor Lee Brown is invited to the festivities tomorrow since it was put on the ballot under his watch.

Here is the last word from CEWDEM to Commentary:

Thank you for telling it like it is about James and Giovanni. How amateurish and yes,”bush league” for a reputable media outlet to try and make something out of a decades long genuine friendship. As for me, James Rodriguez has done his community, young Hispanics and himself proud with his service on City COuncil and I, for one, hope that down the line he will re-enter the fray. As for Gio, what can you say, but a genuine American success story who is himself genuine. I am proud to call both of these men my friends and I just say shame on the Chronicle, their staffer and the paid political hack who attempted to besmirch them. As for the brickbat thrown at you Mr. Campos….you have had far worse said and you are still here….just consider the source.

He said it not me.

Everybody knows that the Babe was born George Herman Ruth, Jr. of course.

I might drop by The Yard today for Christmas shopping.
