1. The Pink photo

She showed up dressed like that to a Memorial Day celebration event in Sugar Land which was pretty serious with speeches, wreaths, etc. Everyone on the dais was in business attire except Shelley.

She looked ridiculous.

She is ridiculous.

2. "right-in candidate" - ha ha

I guess they know they're going down in flames, so why not put someone out there they don't mind embarrassing.

6. I thought that up myself

Pretty proud of myself, I must say. :)

I've also taken to calling David Wallace, David Wallet, but I stole that (with permission) from a Fort Bend Democrat.

3. Shelley Sekula-Goober

Damn, that's going to be hard to wheel in on an e-Slate machine.

4. Just what I was thinking

They picked a hell of a name for people to write in! :rofl:

5. People are already confusing Shelley's name with another local candidate

That would be Sherrie Matula, running for HD-129 in the Clear Lake/Pasadena area. Seriously, real people who must not be real smart, are confusing Shelley Sekula-Gibbs with Sherrie Matula even to the point of asking Democrats why they have a sign up for Sekula-Gibss (it was a Matula sign).

Maximum voter confusion!!

7. I know that historically it was used to keep African-Americans from voting

But maybe we need to revisit the idea of a literacy test.
:shrug:

8. Shelley's awful..

.. I can't stand her.

I think Lampson actually has a chance.

I'm in Culberson's district. I'll vote for anyone opposing him,
but usually he runs unopposed.
