Blogging the Houston Mayoral Race Part 2: Coby and Kuff

Part One featured Greg, David and Stace. For Part Two, let's look at two of my favorite bloggers who are blogging the Houston mayoral race:
Bay Area Houston - You've heard the phrase "takes the gloves off" when someone quits being nice and gets very pointed and aggressive. I don't think John Cobarruvias, author of BAH, ever puts the gloves on. He goes straight at the fight as is evidenced by his commentary on Gene Locke's Beverly Kaufman robo dial, brown/black coalition, Hispanic Museum promise, and mudflap girl fundraiser invite. John makes his disdain of Roy Morales clear with his post on why Morales bothers to even show up at any forums, with his poor performance at the Latino Mayoral Forum as an example. Cobarruvias is a Parker fan, saying this about her in a Clear Lake Mayoral Forum recap,
Annise just seems to be the complete package. Her experience as Controller brings an enormous advantage considering the realities of the economy, the city budget, and the projects that need to be addressed.
Off the Kuff - My buddy and fellow TexBlog PAC board member, Charles Kuffner, the Godfather of Soul . . . err, the Texas Progressive Blogosphere, writes Off the Kuff as well as a Houston Chronicle blog called Kuff's World. His interviews with the mayoral candidates will be published in October and the good news is that October is almost here! He recently commented on Parker's TV ad (graded is a "B" - note: we all called it Parkers "first" ad, but now I'm wondering if it's her "only" ad through Nov. 3rd). Read all of his mayoral postings at this link, including commentary on polling, endorsements and Brown's ads. Oh, wait. I forgot Roy Morales (as I am wont to do). Kuff blogs him, as well.
