A Runoff In HD 29

Well, Weber and O'Day, two Republicans are in the runoff. Final results here. KT called this almost right on the money just before the final returns were posted. DiNovo is still in a great mood. He definitely wanted to win, but I think I've figured out that he is one of those people that is pretty much always upbeat. Lots of thanks are being passed around for all of the hard work everyone put into this campaign. Tammy Koczur, DiNovo's campaign manager, stated that she is concerned about the low voter turnout which indicates apathy about this important race. In her opinion, voters did not look at the candidates and their qualifications. Many voters probably voted for who they were told to vote for and unfortunately, DiNovo voters from Nov. 7th did not come back in the same numbers for this special election. Congratulations to all of the talented, hard working campaign staff and the terrific volunteers - especially my fellow bloggers who made up almost half of the phone banking effort today! Hal, K-T and John - we had fun! And, a quote from Brian Pendleton with the Texas Democratic Party: "Write something nice about me!" Seriously, Brian did a great job and was terrific to work with. Brian, I'll be seeing you around. Thanks, TDP for being so involved in this race!
