Media labels
YEAH, THAT WAS THE MOST IMPORTANT ISSUE IN THE ELECTION: It's been interesting watching national media reaction to Annise Parker's win yesterday. Many headlines are referencing her sexual orientation, continuing an ongoing media obsession with labels. The thing is, it doesn't seem to be a primary issue for her, and for more than a decade now, it hasn't been an issue for voters, despite the recent efforts of some Locke supporters. She's a moderate Democrat with conservative fiscal tendencies, and that combination has translated into electoral success.
