HK: ONLY CRADDICK UNITES HOUSE DEMOCRATIC CAUCUS

Republican "party enforcers" don't get it

Something Paul Burka wrote on his blog yesterday in a piece called The Kuempel Kandidacy, caught my attention.

I generally agree with his analysis that Edmund Kuempel may be the most likely to build a governing coalition. But there is a nuance that is probably too subtle for Republican activists to get.

Burka writes, “The problem for the first group (the Craddick team) is the perception, right or wrong, that Craddick has stalled, and the problem for the second group (the Republican alternatives to Craddick) is that a handful of Republicans cannot empower the Democrats without risking retaliation from party enforcers in 2010.”

Burka is referring the presumptive problem that a conservative Republican elected by, say 50 Democrats and 36 Republicans, risks the ire of the party faithful in 2010.

The not so funny joke is that it is Tom Craddick that empowers Jim Dunnam and the House Democratic Caucus.
