The City of Houston becomes the largest city in the Union to elect an openly gay candidate for mayor. Texas, who would have ever guessed it. I mean this is a state that prides itself in executing the mentally handicapped and most likely executed an innocent man. I would be remiss if I did not point out the fact that Republican David’s prognosis of this election result was dead wrong:
As for Houston, it won’t happen. The comptroller is popular and smart but so is the opponent who will now be able to appeal to the other 70%.
Psst, Pandagon.net lets us in on a little secret, Texas is more liberal than we think.
