Okay, Local Sport’s Fans.
Rumor has it that State Rep. Charlie Howard, who consistently ranks as the most conservative member of the Texas House, which takes some damn hard effort, is resigning on August 2nd and endorsing Rick Miller for his seat.
Rick Miller is the current chairman of the county Republican Party, general thug, and total poopie del pollo. If anything, we’d be jumping from the frying pan into the fire. Rick Miller sends other people to do his dirty deeds because it’s too much of a weenie to stand on his own. Yeah, I do not like him. He’s a bully and a wimp all in one neat little package. And, I’d be proud to have that printed on my tombstone. “Here Be Juanita. She Thinks Rick Miller is a Damn Bully.”
So, what will happen is this. There will be a special election for the seat in November. The candidates have to come from Charlie’s old district, not his new one.
A special election is a free for all. There is no primary election, but the official parties may endorse candidates. Everybody gets in the race and the highest vote getter wins. The Republicans will eat each other alive. So, there’s a fair to decent chance that a Democrat can come out on top for the run-off.
I’m not saying that I’m getting involved, but I will be the person standing on the street corner handing out back-stabbing knives to Republicans in Charlie’s district. Oh hell, who am I fooling? I’m in Charlie’s new district so I’m gonna be right in the middle.
