| Description | Dallas: Nonpartisan tradition may slip to reveal red or blue

This much is certain from Democrats' triumph last week in local elections: Their influence in Dallas County politics is stronger than it's been in years, with no sign of waning.
What that means for next year's increasingly crowded Dallas mayoral election is unclear even to prospective candidates. It is, after all, a nonpartisan race where candidates campaign on their individual ideas and merit, and without a Democratic or Republican platform on which to stand.
But some would-be candidates are more identifiably Democratic or Republican than others.
