I just logged on to the Houston Chronicle website to check if there were any baseball moves to report and what do I see but a wonderful headline indicating that Rick Noreiga had been to Chicago to interview for a possible position in the Obama Administration.

For those who don't know, Rick Noreiga was our last best chance to unseat the horrendous John Cornyn and to give progressives from Texas an actual voice in Washinton. More from Alan Bernstein of the Houston Chronicle article after the fold.

Texas may not be turning blue this year, but Houston seems to be getting bluer by the day. As most of you probably know, the Houston Chronicle endorsed Barack Obama for President. This was the Chronicle's first endorsement of a Democrat for President since LBJ in 1964. But in any event, the Chronicle (although getting more moderate) has definitely trended more conservative than not in the down-ticket races.

Imagine my surprise and delight when I opened my newspaper this morning and was greeted with the Editorial page headline - "Houstonian Rick Noreiga is an old-fashioned Texas Democrat with the right voice for these new times."

This is my first diary so please be kind. (And if I messed up on tags or anything, feel free to correct.)

I know that alot of younger people don't read newspapers anymore, but many older people (including me at 51) do, and that is a demographic that Obama really wants to reach.

I was excited to pick up my copy of the Houston Chronicle today because I had gotten a call from them last night telling me that my LTE was being published. Little did I know that there would be a PLETHORA of great letters, articles and editorials that serve to highlight the dysfunctional reality that is called the Republican Party.
