Johnson looking to unseat Jackson Lee in Congress (Houston Chronicle 1/05/10)

U.S. Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee, who has represented Houston’s 18th Congressional District since 1994, found out Monday that she will not be going back to Washington without a fight. Houston City Councilman Jarvis Johnson took the oath of office for his third term Monday morning and then went to Harris County Democratic Party headquarters, where he filed to challenge the eight-term congresswoman in the March 2 Democratic primary.

A challenge to Jackson Lee was not unexpected. Her steadfast support of then-Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton during the 2008 presidential campaign irked supporters of Barack Obama in her district and almost guaranteed that she would attract an opponent.

Well, I think she did herself disservice in holding the phone to her ears in the middle of townhall. Besides, one of the people asking her question in a townhall turned out to be a non-doctor, prior campaign worker, posing questions as a doctor. Those types of things make it easy for opponents to crop up.

Now, if they are credible, qualified opponents, they will have a good chance.

He's not going to win the largest voting block is African American women.  Sure I am sure that some will hate on her but I still see her winning.  They know who's side she is on when it comes to fighting for people in the hood.
