Sheila gets a potential challenger

Well, somebody had to jump in. You knew it was coming.  So the Facebook group is up, the Twitter account his open, there's a website, and Sean Roberts' sister is awfully proud.  His website, like all good local politicians, show a Houston skyline.  It's just an exploratory committee for now.  But, who knows?  The email blasts have been going strong for the past 24 hours, it certainly looks like Sean has every intention of running.

The political reality is that anyone who wants to challenge Rep, Sheila Jackson-Lee will have an oh-so-uphill battle.  For everything that is said or unsaid in the community, Jackson-Lee has incredible name ID.  Running against her is betting against the odds.  Still, a lot of people have wanted to.

When the whispers of Jackson-Lee possibly going to work for Secretary of State Hillary Clinton first surfaced, the names started jumping out.  There was State Rep. Sylvester Turner, Council Members Jolanda Jones, Jarvis Johnson, and Ronald Green.  Community activists like Marcus Davis and local attorneys including Marlen Whitley have all sort of publicly mulled over the idea.  Now that Roberts actually has a website up, will someone else be willing to jump in?  It's could get to be a very crowded pond, but we all know who the big fish still is... and she's not going anywhere.
