And it all comes down to this. Harris County Results are here, and GalvestonVotes should have more here. Initially it looks good for Pete, but we'll have to wait and see. The Chronicle should also be updating, and has local races as well.
Update: The AP and the Houston Chronicle have called the race for Olson. It's a dominant performance from the look of it. With 100% of precincts reporting:
Pete Olson
15,492 68.5%
Shelley Sekula Gibbs
7,118 31.5%

Posted at 3:02pm on Mar. 31, 2008 TX-22: Where Republican Voters are Proud of their Stupidity
By Ben Domenech
Another day, another amazing revelation about the brief reign of error of Dr. Shelley Sekula-Gibbs in Congress (emphasis mine):

Posted at 9:04pm on Mar. 6, 2008 Pete Olson Gets Endorsed by 12 Texas Congressmen
By Ben Domenech
Well, this is a darn good way to start a runoff. From the campaign:
Today, Pete Olson received the backing from TWELVE Texas Congressmen who see Pete as the clear and conservative choice in the Republican runoff election for the 22nd District. Pete is proud to have the support of Senator Cornyn and the following Texas Congressmen:
John Culberson (Houston, TX-07);
Michael McCaul (Houston, TX-10);
Pete Sessions (Dallas, TX-32);
Jeb Hensarling (Dallas, TX-05);
Kenny Marchant (Coppell, TX-24);
Sam Johnson (Richardson, TX-03);
Kay Granger (Ft. Worth, TX-12);
Mike Conaway (Midland, TX-11);
Louie Gohmert (Tyler, TX-01);
Lamar Smith (San Antonio, TX-21);
Randy Neugebauer (Lubbock, TX-19); and
Mac Thornberry (Amarillo, TX-13).* On average, these congressmen have a lifetime American Conservative Union rating of 94%.
This says a lot, folks. Both about Pete's opponent, and about the man himself.

Posted at 12:28pm on Mar. 6, 2008 The Splendiferous World of Shelley Sekula-Gibbs
By Ben Domenech
On an earlier thread, a few people asked for clarification on why I would refer to Shelley Sekula-Gibbs, the opposition to Pete Olson in the TX-22 runoff, as a "crazy lady."
A true accounting would be too voluminous to take up your time. But since you asked, put on your Mad Hatter tophat, and allow me to welcome you on a brief sojourn into SSG's splendiferously nutty world. It's like It's a Small World, but with more action!
