Sims did terribly badly (Tuesday). I think this is the most competitive county executive's race we've had in a long, long time.

She had a great workout on Tuesday. We actually didn't do any work to go into this race, we went into it tired. She did a nice job. She likes to race, which is important in this game. She's a great competitor.

I did not think we played terribly badly when we had the ball but we look very fragile at the moment and liable to concede goals.

The only effect it could have is burning out our donors. I don't think that's going to happen. The people who donate to the state candidate fund are different than those who donate for anything else.

It essentially would shut the county down. We would no longer be competitive.

This isn't Brazoria County, obviously.
