    The 22nd gets interesting.

    Well lets see what new gossip we can find. =20

    First Mayor (now former Mayor) John Manlove of Pasadena TX is going to = run for the 22nd Congressional District as a Republican. Now the = Gossips wonder if his past endorsement of Democrat Chris Bell for = Congress will come up in the election. Want to bet that Mrs. Gibbs = will not raise that as an issue? Manlove did a good job as Mayor, but = running for Congress is very different.=20

    And along the same line another GOP candidate from Pasadena is also in = the race. St. Rep Robert Tarlton is running. Want to bet that = Manlove will not bring up Robert's opposition to GOP Speaker Tom = Craddick? The Gossip wonder if Craddick will get involved in this race = like he is doing in the state rep races. Tarlton is a seasoned = campaigner and will make this an interesting race.=20

    Pete Olson is also in this race and has been endorsed by Senators Gramm, = Cornyn, former House Ways and Means Chairman and Houston Congressman = Bill Archer, and former Republican State Party Chairman George Strake. = Olson also raised over $200K in the past two months. He use to work = for Gramm and Senator Cornyn, spent some time in the Navy and will use = his contacts to raise money and gain more endorsements. =20

    And have you heard the rumor that Houston Council Member Michael Berry = is looking like he may jump parties and become a Democrat. Wow that = would be news for News Talk KTRH where he is the program manager or some = big shot like that. If that does happen you can bet it is because = Harris County is trending Democratic and Berry wants to be on the = winning team.=20
