South Texas Chisme

is a new blog I found with gossip about South Texas Politics. Today there is a post about Nueces County Judge Shamsie and Representative Luna.

behind South Texas Chisme? It looks like a fun read.

He's done a good job for us. He's a little different.

Terry's done a great job, and taken quite a beating in the process. I can see where he'd just like to chuck it all and go do something fun. However, Nueces County desperately needs Terry to stay where he is. Terry's dug us out of big financial hole and set the county on a fiscally sane path. That wasn't and isn't an easy job, but somebody has to be the adult. If Terry doesn't run, the borrow-and-spend Republicans will have a shot at getting in and doing for Nueces County what their glorious leader is doing for (to?) the country. I take care to live within my means and expect my government to do the same. Terry's one of the very few politicians I'd trust with my pocketbook.

Has he made up his mind for sure, or is there still a chance he can be persuaded to run? What can we do to get him to stay on? He's too honest to take a bribe (and I'd never vote for anybody I thought could be bought), but I know more than a few people who'd be happy to donate their time to his reelection campaign.

He's a dream come true for sure. A friend of Juan's put up a web page a while back and the bloggers ran with it, literally drooling over him. (me too) There was much speculation about him running against Kay Bailey for the Senate seat. He had the republicans trying to recruit him to run for other House seats as a republican. But he's a solid Democrat with an impressive military background and Ivy League schooling. I met him at the Hispanic Leadership Summit this summer. I am so glad he's going to challenge Seaman. Seaman should be easy to knock off.

Way to go Juan!
