A pretty sweet night for us
** Bill White is re-elected with 91% of the vote, breaking Bob Lanier's mandate-record. Rumors -- and not just the ones on the internets -- have him running for something statewide next. (I'm hoping it's against Senator "Torture Box Turtle".) Oh, and Matt H. live-blogged the parties at the Rice.
** Say congratulations also to Councilman Peter Brown. Sue Lovell and Jay Aiyer are both in the runoff for At Large 2.
** But neither Herman Litt nor Mark Lee in C. :^(
** Democrats handily won governorships in Virginia and New Jersey. A gay marriage referendum actually failed (in Maine). And Californians hate their governor (again? So soon?).
Greg's got the snapshot of the Houston races.
Annnnd...
Texas Bloggers have banded together to ask our readers to nominate a Texan for our very own blogger version of the mainstream media's favorite attention grabber, the "Person of the Year"! Join us by nominating a Texan that has made the most impact this year, be it good or bad, evil or embarassing. We're all accepting nominations from you through November 23 and we'll post your Texan of the Year by December 1st. Email your nominations to: Texanoftheyear@gmail.com
Your favorite political blog is participating (left, center, and right). Each blog will write their own post about the person, so on December 1st you'll have lots of different opinions but they'll all come from the same source, you...the smartest people in Texas.
