Happy Birthday, Toni!
I just want to wish an early Happy Birthday to my sis and DC Guest Blogger Toni Medellin. Here she is with the candidate the Cartel is supporting for Houston Mayor.

Who’s Going To Win?
Who’s going to be the big winner on Tuesday? I predict that it will be The consultants of the two run-off candidates! Kuff has a list of the massive amounts of money spent on outreach. Well, the top two consultants get to do it all over again–probably for more! That’s a lot of money spent on a 9% Latino turnout. Hell, they won’t even spend money on Latino media (and blogs, hint hint), but they’ll spend $5,000 on the Texas Conservative Review? Hijole!
Don’t Feel Like Offending Anyone on Tuesday?
One word of advice I have for 2010 candidates is: Don’t pick a side in the local races! You need support from all the bases! So, if you don’t want to offend anyone by showing up to one victory party or another and run the risk of a photo appearing somewhere (like on a blog), head on over to the HCDP Election Night Party! You’ll have fun with like-minded people (you won’t have to hang out with the Mayoral’s Republican supporters, either), and you’ll be doing the Party a great service by giving a few bucks. Plus you get some top-notch Pizza, from what I hear.
