The race for HCRP Chair

I don’t have a dog in this fight, so I don’t really have an opinion to offer as to each candidate’s merits. From a purely selfish point of view, of course, I’d prefer that the best candidate, whoever that is, not win. The main point of interest about this race to me is that it’s a lot easier to be a county party chair when your party is winning. Things sure are more harmonious in the HCDP these days, and I’ve noticed a sharp drop in the level of public criticism of Gerry Birnberg since last November. If the Harris County GOP does well next year, then whoever is its Chair will be hailed as a hero. If they have a repeat of 2008, that person will wish he’d lost his election as well. It’s as simple as that. Martha has more.
