Just heard that 40 of 43 precincts reporting and Borris is up by 200+ votes!

Did we just get rid of Al Edwards?

1. Crossing fingers!

And, if it happens, am wishing I had a few firecrackers around here to set off!

Would disturb the Republicans out here in Sugar Land, which is always a positive thing.

2. Oh my that looks good.

9:30 Update - 40 of 43 precincts reporting
Edwards - 47.83%; 2,334 votes
Miles - 52.17%; 2,546 votes

Oh please, please let that hold for the other 3 pcts.

4. crossing fingers...

lord knows Miles' campaign had a strong ground game in my precinct. I got three block-walkers in a 48-hour period in the past week, and a phone call.

3. Geez, less than 6% of registered voters

voted in the runoff?

Sad!

5. It sounded to me like Edwards just conceded on Ch. 2

That's what it looked and sounded like to me!!

6. Edwards just conceded to Borris on Channel 2 news....

7. Well Al is going to have a lot of time on his hands

Maybe he can take that anti-sexy cheerleading crusade on the road.

Another Craddick Democrat left by the roadside.

12. Absolutely incredible.

That's my new representative in Austin. He's a real Democrat.

14. Congratulations to you and Harris, PDittie

This is the year of the challenger. The year for change.

Nice to have a representative that you can actually believe in and who will represent you. I've got a good one too - Elliott Naishtat.

15. Good riddance to Al.

Al Edwards set the bar pretty high for buffoonery this last session. Let's hope it's a repub who gets the next King of the Idiots crown.

Let me know what that whole "representative that you can actually believe in and who will represent you" thing is like sometime.

13. Thanks to all of the Harris County DU folks for pitching in!

:grouphug: I'm ready to reciprocate, just give me a few days to recover. :grouphug:
