Booing the Queen
» KHOU: Sheila Jackson Lee at odds with constituents
A few thoughts on this story. First, I can't claim to be unhappy to see Sheila catch a little grief from constituents over anything. I volunteered on two campaigns that would have kept her off of City Council and Congress.
Secondly, does it not speak to the class of folks outraged by a superdelegate going against their district's vote in the Presidential race? I mean, show me where Chet Edwards was booed for supporting Obama despite his district voting for Clinton.
Now, I'd love to believe that some of this means that there'll be an opponent running against Sheila in the 2010 primary. But it'll take a lot more than an endorsement of Hillary Clinton to undo Sheila's tenure.
But if Marcus Davis wants to think about running ...
SIDENOTE: Since when is it considered tasteful for KHOU News to air a comment like this?
"For her to standout against the wishes of her district and be a Clinton supporter, I guess pissed off our delegation,"

I've long been convinced she wants a Cabinet post -- that's why she endorsed Hillary, that's why she endorsed Dean.
I wasn't as kind as you are:
http://bayareahouston.blogspot.com/2008/03/houston-delegates-act-like-jackasses.html
"And she didn't deserved to be boo-ed by a bunch of political crybabies many, who learned how to spell "Democrat" last month and were still crappin yellow when she was fighting for womans rights, minority rights, and the rights of all Americans.
These delegates are a perfect example why the Democrat's mascot is a jackass."
Coby, I'm sure that take could have gotten camera time with KHOU under the new decency standards ;-)
