There’s an Elephant in the Room
In a couple of hours, I’ll be going to the election night party that the Democrats are holding. After the last two elections, we Democrats have been treated (and I use the term loosely) to appearances by Republican officials. Both the 2005 and 2006 elections were fantastic nights for Democrats, no doubt they wanted to bask in the reflected glow of sure victories and get on the right train.
In 2006, Jim Kolbe showed up to the party to congratulate, very publicly, Gabrielle Giffords. This was probably a final slap at Randy Graf, who had tried to take him out in the 2004 primary. When Democrats swept to victory in the 2005 city council races, both Bob Walkup and Ray Carroll showed up. Given that some of the more vicious underground attacks on Rodney Glassman came from folks close to Carroll, I don’t imagine he’ll be coming around this time.
So, if you go to the Democrats’ celebration tonight (Over at O’Malley’s on Fourth starting at 7:30), say “hi” to whatever Republican poohbah shows up. Be nice, but not too nice…
