A Mistake On My Part

The other day, while talking about Carole Keeton StrayhornÂ’s defection, I commented on a possible runoff election for governor.

I was wrong to have done so. While so many other offices require a majority to win, that office does not. The Chronicle points this out in an editorial today

The truth is that no one knows how Strayhorn's candidacy will shape the race. Strayhorn's entry means that any candidate with a plurality will win the election; no runoff is needed.

I acknowledge my mistake – and wonder how wild and woolly a ride we are going to have between now and November.

1 Wow! It certainly does put the race in a different context. Also makes more sense why Stayhorn is running as an independant.

2 A mistake?? Wow, I'm glad I never make them.

Thanks for the update.
