    Seen no ads on teevee, never see any ads in my FB timeline (that’s a feature).

    Couple mailers this week and last for people I’m not voting for. If anybody has called me, they haven’t left a message.

    Got three door hangers during the summer, maybe September. Turner, Hall, and somebody else. Barely any yard signs in my ‘hood, mostly Frazer followed by Costello. My precinct is swingy; blue in presidential years, red in midterms. Mostly Republicans active in the pct. association and there’s currently a running battle on open carry/concealed carry on my Nextdoor listserv.

    Maybe 42% really are undecided…

    There is chatter about Herlinda Garcia’s finance report and not because the usual suspects are donors. It appears she added her total political contributions and total expenditures together to come up with cash on-hand.

    This could very well lead to a Texas Ethics charge if someone makes a fuss about it.

    I used to see Hall’s ads on TV both nothing lately. Then it was ironic to see a King add during a show called Heroes Reborn (considering his stance on the HERO ordinance) but Garcia and Turner have been burning up the airwaves of late with ads that are all over the place. I’ve seen one Costello ad this season too.

    Has anyone asked if they are targeting specific shows, times of day, etc? I’d be curious to know how much conscious thought went into the ad placement.

    I’ve seen Herlinda’s report as well. What is more disturbing to me than a potential ethics violation, is her inability to do simple math or pay attention to what she’s doing. She’ll never gain any traction anyway, so it is kind of a moot point. On the at-larges, I think incumbents will all get re-elected, (although personally there are a couple I would like to see go, but I’m not holding my breath). We will have run-offs between Amanda Edwards & Laurie Robinson, with Amanda prevailing, Lane Lewis and Tom McCasland, with Lewis prevailing. I think the other district incumbents will probably get re-elected. Mayor’s race is a tough one. I’m thinking it will be a run off between Turner and either Garcia or King. If it is King, then I think Turner will prevail, with Garcia, I think he will have more cross over appeal so that match up is harder to call.

    “I’m about 99% certain it was a rerun of one of his Controller ads from 2009.”

    Make that 100%.
