When the walkout of the Killer D’s was first reported on, I said the following:
Travis County Democrats are sponsoring a rally in favor of the 52 strikers (typically, the Harris County Democrats have zip on this).
Michael has since pointed out to me that the Harris County Democrats and the Harris County Democratic Party are two distinct groups, and while the former still hasn’t updated its page since Sunday (it’s been a slow news week, you understand), the HCDP does have a message of support for the Killer D’s. Memo to self: Be more thorough when Googling in the future. My apologies for the goof, and my thanks to Michael for the tip.
UPDATE: The HCD statement is up. As it happens, I got to meet their chairman at a Bill White campaign rally tonight, and he recognized my name from having come across my blog. Pretty cool, and now I feel like a jerk for being snarky about them. Them’s the breaks, I guess. By the way, as insomnia notes in the comments, the HCD is having a rally in front of the local Republican headquarters (in the 3100 block of Richmond) tomorrow (Thursday), which another attendee told me will be at 11. Just FYI.

How come this doesn’t remotely surprise me?
For what it’s worth, it doesn’t surprise me at all, either. Explains a lot, actually.
The HC Dems formed in 1953 when the HCDP endorsed Ike instead of Stevenson.
HC Dems History
The Harris County Dems are holding a rally tommorrow in front of the repub HQ. 🙂
Went to the rally. On the order of 100-120 people. Maybe 10-15 LaRouche Dems. Look for my Blog Entry “I went down to the demonstration to get (more than) my fair share of LaRouche” coming up as soon as I come up with words to go with the title.
