“I thought we were bullied, personally,” Roy Morales told me this morning.
The conservative mayoral candidate was describing a lunch-time meeting he attended Wednesday with Gene Locke’s campaign manager, Christian Archer, at the offices of political consultant Allen Blakemore. The meeting was an effort on Archer’s part to secure Morales’s endorsement.
“I was strongly asked to support Mr. Locke, and I was very clear that I wasn’t going to endorse anyone,” Morales said.
Just read the whole thing. I don’t think there’s anything I can add.
One thing about Roy. He’s going to take that 20% and run with it. For something else.
Someone made a comment the other day about these Republican endorsements. Democrats probably would do better to avoid seeking them and being more picky about the ones they acknowledge.
The Republicans who vote probably will vote this time according to the C Club endorsement and the endorsement of Beverly Kaufman. The Republicans who vote. Many simply will not vote and rail endlessly about the liberals at City Hall. It gives them someone to blame other than themselves.
