I love alliteration. Also of note from the signature validating, Steve Stockman, former Republican congressman and current whackjob, did not collect enough signatures to make it onto the ballot for Delay's old seat. That keeps the Republican base more solidified going up against Lampson. Again, it sure works out quite well for the Republican establishment that Stockman didn't get on the ballot. All he needed was 500 signatures. I've seen Jennifer Gale get 500 signatures when the bars let out on 6th street, people tend to enjoy waiting in random lines to do stuff at 2:15 in the morning.

And why in hell did it take the SOS 6 weeks to validate 500 signatures? If I had a penchant for data entry and a fifth of gin I could have knocked that out in a day.

Anyways, go give some money to Nick Lampson.
