| Seeing that neither Carole Strayhorn or Brewster McCracken has any hope of overcoming the staggering pile of endorsements that the Leffingwell campaign has racked up (30), I'm more interested in the battle for second place that occurs to be going on between the two of them.
Before today, it stood at.
Carole Stayhorn: 2
BOMA (Building Owners and Managers Association)
Small Business Group (so small no one can find it)
Brester McCracken: 0.5
ALGPC (co-endorsement with Leffingwell)
Well, BIG NEWS. Carole is pulling away after having SHOCKINGLY won the endorsement of ChangeAustin.org (even though she never showed up to their candidate forum which Leffingwell attended).
Here were their endorsements as emailed.
ChangeAustin.org, formerly Stop Domain Subsidies (Prop 2) in last November's election, proudly endorses:
Carole Keeton Strayhorn for Mayor
Perla Cavazos, Place 1
Mike Martinez, Place 2
Bill Spelman, Place 5
Sam Osemene, Place 6

ChangeAustin.org is working to reach 30,000 voters before the election in May, just a portion of the 123,209 voters who supported Prop 2, to get them to the polls.
The big question now is who will get the Austin Women's Political Caucus endorsement tomorrow? And who exactly would it be an upset for if they got it? Carole because Leffingwell has 90% of all group endorsements? Or Leffingwell over Carole even though he lacks certain feminine parts? Or Brewster over anyone? Or Buttross or Ingalls over Brewster because it would vault them ahead of him by half in the endorsement count?
STAY TUNED! |
