Houston Chron Endorses Morrison over Delay
By Karl-Thomas Musselman
Exciting news out of Houston, the big city paper has chosen to endorse Richard Morrison over Tom DeLay!
And as strange as it may seem for us Austinites, they also tossed McCaul a bone in endorsing him for TX-10 which runs from Austin to Houston, giving them a reason to add it in their list of Houston area endorsements.
Of course, McCaul does have an opponent and you can Write In Sadun.

Not too much of a shocker - I'm glad that they endorsed Lampson as well. They endorsed DeLay's opponent two years ago.
Yesterday morning I drove down to the Clear Lake area to do some GOTV [Get Out The Vote] training and block-walking and phone-banking for Richard Morrison, the David swinging a fat rock in a slingshot at the Goliath of Sugar Land, the King Cockroach of the US Congress, the self-proclaimed 'Federal Government'... oh well, you know who I'm talkin' 'bout.
By 10 a.m there were over 50 of us crowded into a shoe-store sized office in a non-descript strip center just about a stone's throw from NASA's Mission Control. Armed with precinct maps and 4,500 door-hangers we fanned out and scraped shoe leather and knuckle skin to bring the gospel of relief to the good citizens of the 22nd Congressional District.
But before we got started we had a little unscheduled pep rally.
Someone brought in a copy of the Galveston Daily News, which had as subheadline (but still on the front page, above the fold) "DeLay refuses to debate opponent". Whoops and chortles erupted. Several of us whipped out our cell phones and called DeLay's two campaign HQs, one of which was not answering the phone. The woman who picked up my call at the other had no clue that their boy had chickened out.
So Tom DeLay looks like a coward for backing out of the debate, and this morning the Houston Chronicle endorsed Morrison.
And the Texans beat the Titans.
A good weekend.
yo p. diddy, you forgot to tell us to "vote or die."
Vote or I'll effin kill ya, Sal.
How 'bout them Astros? My weekend improved over superlative.
