Because Ballard is such a weak leader (his book notwithstanding) he allows himself to be surrounded by average and below average talent. Loftus and Grand like it because unlike Goldsmith, Ballard has no policy ideas thus kurt tnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-107595952339927974.post-88909338236908211572010-07-24T16:13:17.125-04:002010-07-24T16:13:17.125-04:00Makes sense Markie.

Regardless of who runs for office R or D you need to have members on your team who can mutlti-task in terms of talking to various constituencies. If Olgen can't talk to African-Americans or southsiders, northsiders and downtowners what good is he? At least Goldsmith has John Hall and Peterson had downtown lawyernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-107595952339927974.post-1789629347630567432010-07-24T16:04:21.380-04:002010-07-24T16:04:21.380-04:00Olgen Williams was not Ballard's (Joe Loftus) ...Olgen Williams was not Ballard's (Joe Loftus) first or even second choice. Tony Kirkland was interviewed but turned it down because he didn't know the community. Olgen was picked because they wanted someone who they thought could connect with the urban preachers and would not come across too smart or sophisticated (their words not mine).

Reading through old entries of Gary Welsh's blog, he got a pardon from President George W. Bush (previously convicted for stealing while working at the Post Office). He also had some controversy surrounding his property tax payment which you can read about here (http://Blog Adminhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15900497671781531454noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-107595952339927974.post-21224216043095561332010-07-24T14:46:38.669-04:002010-07-24T14:46:38.669-04:00Ms Bell deserves a calling out, I'm not sure a...Ms Bell deserves a calling out, I'm not sure about Olgen Williams.

Form a committee/task force of well-knowns who will meet periodically to exchange recipes and at the last minute develop a list of "to-dos" that could have been done by a couple of college interns.
