Here's a nice little read about longtime Austin Democratic consultant Kelly Fero, who got himself into a spot of hot water in recent weeks. It's so inside-baseball that even I don't get all the references, but illuminating nonetheless. On the matter of Fero's surprisingly low profile for a guy who gets quoted in every other story about the state of the Democratic Party in Texas, I'll say that I've had regular email correspondence with him, I've spoken on the phone with him once or twice, and like everyone else mentioned in the story, I had no idea what he looked like before I saw the included photo. And like Greg, I'm generally a fan of his work. Read it and see what you think.
