#1 Too much smoke in here to see the fire. Why were tese incumbent judges fired? I don't buy the funny name theory. If that was the reason, why did they get elected in the first place? It sort of hints that it was a Democrat sweep. If so, why not be more fortright about it?

#2 "an understanding that experienced judges weren't challenged"

Simple: Dems changed the rules to grab power. Now the Dems will go back to asking the old tradition be followed.

#4 Sorry, CM. I just can't see a lawn sign with "Vote for Monoxide" doing much to up your poll numbers. I think a bumper sticker would be even worse, particularly if it was on an old beater that burned oil...

#5 Definitely need something more catchy. How about:
A vote for CO is a vote for Yo!

#6 Maybe they just wanted to take out the trash. Houston's residents are prolly tired of watching liberal judges flush their city down the crapper with ridiculous decisions on issues like immigration and schools.
That large of a consensus probably isn't wrong.

#7 My persoanl policy is to vote against all incumbent judges. Party affiliation doesn't matter. These assholes think they are royals after a couple of terms. Clear the dead wood and let someone else get to the slop trough is my theory.
