San Antonio Run-off
By Karl-Thomas Musselman
Results from the San Antonio Runoff will be coming in tonight. Though I won't likly be able to get to the computer until 9 pm, there will be some people following the news.
RedState will be liveblogging so that may be your best bet. For a short primer on what is going on, look to Latinos for Texas post from the Express News.
It's to be a close race tonight (though I hope Castro pulls it out). Kuff points to a mySA.com column that brings up some interesting points that could help Castro overcome his 5 point deficit in the last round of polling.
It would help if there were a City Council runoff on Schubert's turf. There isn't.
It would help if there were no runoffs in Castro's backyard. There are two.
It would help if Castro had a weak grassroots organization. He doesn't.
It would help if Hardberger and Schubert were not political opposites. They are.
It would help if Hardberger could count on a heavy turnout of Schubert supporters. He can't.
The candidate who probably can count on a heavy turnout is Castro.
The last time there were runoffs in Districts 6 and 7, more people voted in Round 2 than in Round 1.
That's one reason I give Castro a slight edge in the runoff. There are others.
The Jeffersonian says otherwise though... We shall see who is right soon enough.
