Houston mayoral runoff held today: TURNER (D) WINS

[smoltchanov]

Well, Turner finally (on 3rd attempt) won, albeit - very narrowly. And i already see standard wailings on Democratic sites (like DKE) - "our electrate does'n vote in elections, except Presidential". The same was recently, when Democrats lost state Senate seat in Georgia, which is D+20 on Presidential level.... But i have a question for such "wailers": why ANYONE must care about these people, their rights and interests if they themselves doesn't care??? If they are too lazy to get their asses from chairs and vote for those, who WILL really represent them. My views now are substantially closer to Democratic party then to modern day Republican, but i respect Republican voters for understanding what they want and how to achieve that. And have absolutely no respect for those "lazy Democrats", who are wailing instead of voting...
