And "152,000 residents turned out to cast ballots in the fourth largest U.S. city"? population's over 2 million; only seven percent voted?

Actually the population can't be used as total voters as not all are registered or elgible. The number of registered voters in Houston is just under 1 million of which about 16.5% of voted. Any candidate with an unified effort and 10% of the registered voters could have won going away.

Mayor          In: 100% 
Gene Locke     73,331 47.2% 
Annise Parker  81,971 52.8% 
Total         155,302

I beg to differ. With the Democrat-ACORNs giving absentee ballots to illegals and homeless junkies and filling ballots out for the dead, "registered" and "eligible" mean just about as much as Obama's No Lobbyists/Transparency campaign promises.
