What did she need that she couldn't get from the state or Feds?
She'll get re-elected, but I'm going to make my first political donation to whoever runs against her.
Same, will donate and actively campaign against this idiot. Harris County and TX GOP better be priming someone up to run against her that can pull the suburban Harris County vote to overwhelm the ITL liberals.
Here's hoping she gets a great job in the new administration!

unfortunately it will need to be democrat to primary her.Noble07 said:

Why the assumption she gets re-elected? Her first election was on the back of a bunch of straight ticket voters who hit the straight ticket button. The D judges that got re-elected this time were on the back of unprecedented nationwide turnout for the presidential election. Obviously there were plenty of democrat voters that voted for Ed Emmett. I don't think unseating her is all that insurmountable.

You might be right - especially since 2022 doesn't have any senators.
Have to think it will depend who the Dems put up for Governor.
(Though given the performance of non-Trump GOP candidates in Texas this year (roughly R+10), I think the "Texas will turn blue!" enthusiasm has ebbed a bit, and there may not be eagerness for a Dem to take a likely loss.)

Is it a foregone conclusion that Abbott is running again? Or won't have a serious primary challenger?
Harris County is pretty liberal. As much as we dislike her, she's a star to a lot of them.
It's not guaranteed that she runs for reelection as county judge. She really believes her own hype about being a "rising star," so if a Dem congressional seat opens up she might run for that. And the Dems might pluck someone like Annise Parker to run for county judge.
But she definitely has her sights on higher office.

It is and she still only got elected because of straight ticket voters that popped in to vote for Beto. I don't know that she wins without something major to being in dem voters at the top of the ballot. Like Keegan said, the Governorship could do it depending on the candidate, but she's far from unbeatable.

And? Should we make jokes about domestic violence too?
My point is that making jokes downplaying the virus is ****ty when tons are dying every day.
branch covidans are so dramatic
The federal treasury has been spewing out cash for any and all Corona related expenditures. Had Trump waved a magic wand and made it disappear they'd have called him a fascist dictator. Air cover, WTF?Bondag said:She built an air conditioned tent outside an empty convention center.Harry Lime said:

What a joke
they were going to announce results regardless of who won
but they 100% sat on them for a week plus to get through the election
smart and hilarious

Agree its smart and my stock market portfolio loves it; however, it just adds to the overall facepalm that COVID has becomecone said:

why isn't he getting any credit? Pfizer said not a word about any political figure in the announcement. Its your choice (collective you) to view this as political and if credit (any, none, all) should belong with some guy.
because if you give orange man a win leading into the election all your work gets labelled as the trump vaccine and hurts the integrity of your results
now that the party of science is back in charge we can accept science and love it again

I say smart from a PFE point of view as now it doesn't impact the election one way or the other, and they get the entire attention of the world on them...if they had done it a week or two ago it would be all about how it impacts the election and would be used politicallythird coast.. said:
well if there is credit due, you know the media wont be the one giving it. Either way, I legitimately am curious as to why it was smart to delay the announcement, which is why i asked. The people I was responding to said it was smart while also talking about the election which is the motivation for my post. I dont know enough about it to say that cutting the red tape and expediting the process is what led to the development of the vaccine or not.
This keeps it all about them
One of the most prominent pro-lockdown, everything could be cataclysmic voices out there has been Scott Gottlieb.gougler08 said:I say smart from a PFE point of view as now it doesn't impact the election one way or the other, and they get the entire attention of the world on them...if they had done it a week or two ago it would be all about how it impacts the election and would be used politicallythird coast.. said:

Imagine if our hospitalization/death curve looked like Sweden's about now and what difference that would make to the profitability of Pfizer's vaccine.
Gottlieb has literally been one of the most even keeled voices in media during this whole thing.
well except for his school alarmism
especially at the lower grades
but literacy rates for the poor isn't really his concern on the pfizer board

Nope. He's been very doomer.
But he's also very, very cozy with big pharma.

Here's a bit of a rundown. The longer this drags out, the richer he gets and the bigger hero he will be.
Quote:
COVID-19 is the best thing that has ever happened to Scott Gottlieb's career, and in particular, his checking account. He sits on the board of at least 3 companies that have cleared regulatory hurdles and have been granted approvals or business with the FDA, and another organization that has secured billions in funding from the U.S. taxpayer. Tens of millions of Americans are struggling to make ends meet, due in part to poor advice and damaging policies being promoted by Dr. Scott Gottlieb, who is in turn getting filthy rich off of our current state of total pandemia.
thanks for the edit
