[Def Conservative]

Gene Locke got the black precincts (which are traditionally Dem) so obviously he’ll get some heavy Dem areas. There are no traditional conservative areas in the city with the exception of Kingwood and Memorial areas. Annise won because she got gays and white liberals. She probably did get some help from Roy “Pay to play” Morales’s mailer though.

The Montrose does not have enough people to turn an election and the Montrose has far fewer people than Memorial, Kingwood, Briargrove, Meyerland, Clear Lake and the entirety of the western and northwestern suburbs.

Locke, like Ray Nagin built a coalition among blacks and white conservatives. That formula works in New Orleans, but not Houston.
