Commentary has gotten a few emails the past couple of days about the Lone Star Dem Party establishment endorsing Judge Gilberto Hinojosa for State Dem Chair. It looks like the same bunch of folks will keep running the Lone Star State Dem Party. Oh, well.
For those of you that care, the Chron E-Board today endorsed former State Rep. Paul Sadler for U.S. Senate in the Dem Primary. In its endorsement, the Chron E-Board lectured Lone Star State Dems:
Speaking of money, Sadler has a bone to pick with his fellow Democrats – as do we. This well-qualified candidate for the highest statewide office on the Democratic primary ballot is being forced to run his campaign on a shoestring. This, as wealthy Texas Democrats send money out of state to aid other candidates in those places.
This just shouldn’t be. It sends a signal that running statewide in Texas is hopeless for a Democrat.
It may be an uphill battle, but Sadler is a worthy candidate who deserves some of those Democrats’ dollars that are going out of state.
We encourage voters in the Democratic primary to cast their votes for Paul Sadler. And we encourage Democratic donors across the state to look closer to home when making their financing decisions.
Take that!
