CD 8 Endorsement Coup?

I was looking at campaign web sites yesterday and noted what looks like a tremendous coup for the Latas forces; they seem to have lured Patty Weiss’s campaign manager over to the Latas camp.

Tom Chandler is Weiss’s Chairman, according to her web site. Chandler is a well known attorney and long-time Democratic Party activist. He is also listed as one of Latas’s supporters. My hat is off to the Latas campaign if they have lured him away from Weiss.

Of course these may be two different Tom Chandlers, or the same guy trying to stand comfortably on both sides of the fence; or maybe Jeff and Patty just need to update their web sites.

Dear Blue...

Yes, you're right and I was wrong. Tom Chandler is the Chairman of Weiss's campaign. This is not an honorary position, however, this is an official, legal, position. That's why his name appears on official records and at the bottom of her website.

His name's appearing as a supporter for two different candidates still strikes me as odd, and not analogous to Sierra Club endorsement of more tha one candidate.

But what the hey...under the aspect of eternity it's only mildly amusing--not tragic.

Golly Gee, I don't know. Jeff doesn't know who supports him? April Fool?
