Dallas Weekly’s Top 25 to Watch in ’07

Dallas Weekly has released their 25 to Watch in '07 list.  They have compiled a strong mix of politicians, entertainers, business people, and community activists.  On the website, Dallas Weekly calls the list "controversial".  I can only imagine how many calls they received from people who wished that they (or their client, or their pastor, or their family member) had been included.  Other than that I don't see anything controversial about the personalities that they selected.  Visit the Dallas Weekly Website linked above, or see a summary of the list below.
