RUNOFF NIGHT

It has been almost a month since I last responded, but here are the early returns...

In CD22: Pete Olson is blowing Shelley Sekula Gibbs off the platoon. With 6% of the vote in the bag, Olson is trouncing "Temper Tantrum" Gibbs, 69 to 31 percent. Get ready for a general election brawl (vs. Nick Lampson).

Over in Harris: Pat Lykos is barely ahead of Kelly Siegler in the DA's race there. The winner gets C.O. Bradford (of HPD fame). And Ken Legler is leading the GOP runoff for the District 144 nomination to succeed Crazy Bob Talton.

And here in Fort Bend: Greg Ordeneaux is barely leading Tom Stavinoha in the fight for the Precinct 1 commish slot with a quarter of returns in. The Democrat the winner faces appears to be Richard Morrison.

This is still early, this is not Virginia.
