Berry Profile
The latest Houston Press runs a fairly lengthy profile of mayoral candidate Michael Berry. Tim Fleck gets some digs in, and the article may not entirely please the campaign, but it seems like a fairly decent profile to me.
I've certainly had some fun with Berry's candidacy on this site, but I must say that given Orlando Titanic Sanchez's implosion and Berry's ability to win support from unusual quarters, the guy has a realistic shot in this race.
And after reading this profile, I'm starting to think that he might actually make a better mayor than councilman. Let me qualify that a bit. It appears as a councilman that Berry had a tendency to freelance and to be a bit of a maverick. Consequently, he didn't get far in terms of legislation. But while that style isn't well suited for a councilman, it might actually work in an executive role.
Or not. Hard to say. But he's going to have to be taken seriously in this race, and that obviously is something that has come as a surprise to me.
