Democratic Wags Like Me Are “Pullen” for a Randy Victory

Jump to Comments

A Republican told me (yeah, they still talk to me. I must be too easy on them) to watch for attendance at tonight’s Chairman’s Dinner that the Republican Party puts on before their State Convention. Some big donors and firms that usually buy whole tables are now only buying a ticket or two. The word is that this is happening because these folks want to show their support for the party, but are reluctant to shell out a lot of cash because they are worried that Randy Pullen will be in charge after this weekend. It’s this sort of thing that makes Democratic wags light candles and say Novenas for a Pullen victory

Frankly, I think we on the asinine side (and I mean that in the biological sense) win in either case. Pullen’s opponent and establishment candidate Lisa James can only, at best, promise the same team of consultants, retainers and toadies that lost them the Governor’s race, two congressional seats and seven seats in the legislature. Even with a promise of more of the same missteps that made people like me, Lofty Donkey and Wactivist chuckle at their ineptitude, it just won’t be as much fun with James in charge.

Pullen, on the other hand, promises a whole new world of comedy: a party run by folks like Phil Mason, whose “help” getting Pullen elected to the RNC over Mike Hellon is still clouded in controversey, and intrepid RINO hunter Rob Haney will give people like me a field day. The irony of folks like Haney, whose demands for ideological purity would make Tomás de Torquemada blush, backing a guy like Pullen, a former donor to Democratic candidates and rather recent convert to the conservative cause, seems to be lost on large swaths of the Republican activist community.

I was asked to endorse Pullen by a Republican wag. What? And ruin my objectivity?
