The LPGa is currently in a tail spin. The party only put out one fundraising letter the entire year I was on their board - and I was the one who loaned them the money to do it.
On Monday they finally got rid the Executive Director they couldn’t afford. No word on if they will attempt to find someone competent to replace him.
Today I get an email from the one credible candidate that was going to run in 2005 saying he has backed out of the race. A GaTech Prof, Jud Ready, was considering running for the Atlanta City Council. Jud had already established a bridge with the Atl Firefighters Union, who the City Council shafted out of a pay raise. He is active in his neighborhood association, and is an all around personable guy. It would have been hard, but Jud could have won that election against the 20 year corrupt incumbent.
Now there are no LP candidates in 2005, an election year that focuses on non-partisan local races - the exact races that the LPGa needs to win to be able to move on to higher offices.
Some people thought I was a GOP plant sent to destroy the LP. In reality the LP is destroying itself. I think I’ll just sit back and watch.
