In the post for this week's episode of Who's Blue, I referred to Sam Coats and Don Hill as "two Democratic candidates in the non-partisan race for Dallas City Mayor." Several people have pointed out, since yesterday, that Dallas City Councilman Ed Oakley is also a Democrat, and is also running for Mayor, so I am glad we didn't say that Coats and Hill were the only Democrats. As always, visit every candidate, judiciously, and remember to vote in your city elections.

The Texas media is all atwitter with news that House Speaker Craddick has lost control of the store, the inmates are running the asylum, the wheels have come off, and so forth.

When I worked for the Arizona Department of Economic Security back in the day, I was tasked with finding out how people within the department communicated with one another. What I found out was that there were no guidelines for purchasing computers and no standards for compatibility. Each division within the department operated on its own LAN with its own software. It was so varied that the Director, my boss, could not send a department-wide email because it would not reach everyone.

Former Congressman Martin Frost regularly contributes opinion pieces to Politico.com and FoxNews. In yesterday's FoxNews column, he discusses a new book on Rahm Emanuel, the last election cycle, and the end of the Republican Revolution. We reproduce it here with permission from Congressman Frost.
