I know my choice
The Dallas Morning News has done some early handicapping on the 2010 Dallas County Judge’s race.
Frankly, assuming there’s no Green candidate, I’d take Democratic incumbent Jim Foster over Clay Jenkins or anybody else on the D party line buried in the combined pockets of Dallas County Commissioner John Wiley Price and state Sen. Royce West.
The dynamic duo tried to shake down would-be south Dallas/Dallas County/south suburbs inland port developer Richard Allen two years ago, before Congresswoman Eddie Bernice Johnson put a stop to it.
Then, Price attempted to get the Dallas County Commissioners’ Court to require Allen to have a full-blown development plan, apparently taking his cue there from Ross Perot Jr. and Dallas May Tom Leppert. Foster voted against that, which is when Price started calling him “Foster Gump.”
Especially if Elba Garcia knocked off Ken Mayfield to give Democrats a majority on the Dallas County Commissioners’ Court, Jenkins or anybody else in their pockets two years in advance of the election would be a hack job par excellence.
I’d consider voting for a Republican in the general election in that case, especially somebody I know like Cedar Hill City Councilman Wade Emmert.
