Run-off Notes
By Byron LaMasters
Kuff, The Jeffersonian and San Antonio Election 2005 report on the latest from San Antonio. Third place finisher Carroll Schubert endorsed Phil Hardberger in the mayoral run-off.
In the Austin City Council Place 3 run-off, Margot Clarke has racked up some union support that went to Gregg Knauppe in round one. They include the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers Local 520, the Central Texas Building Trades Council and the Sheetmetal Workers Local 67.

The CW said that Jennifer's only chance in the run-off was to get all of Greg's former supporters and outspend Margot. Now, it looks as though a sizable chunk of Greg's former supporters are actually in Margot's camp, and Margot's $91,000 windfall means that Jennifer won't be able to outspend Margot- indeed, she will probably be outspent herself by a considerable margin.
All this, combined with the fact that Margot supporters are more likely to vote in what will be a low-turnout race, means that Margot will win by a sizable margin.
