Reply #8: I worked the last Democracy Fest...

[VelmaD]

and I never saw Glen except when he was speaking at one of the sessions. He didn't really do the on-the-ground, minute-by-minute organization of Democracy Fest in Austin. (I say that only because I want to see credit go where it's due - to Steve V and the other folks who wrangled us volunteers.)

What the wingers think of our party chair matters because they will use his personal life to try to scare people. It's sad and it isn't fair and it isn't right...but it's true.

I suppose it's just a personal thing with me. I've been up close and personal with a too many poorly run Austin events to trust anyone from down here to run anything.

I won't be devestated if Glen wins. In fact I'd work hard for the party with him as chair, just like I've worked hard with him here locally. I just don't believe he's the best we can do.
