Yep, area Republicans are as inept as expected.
Republican leaders hoping to preserve the party's hold on the district formerly represented by Tom DeLay disagreed Wednesday about a meeting scheduled tonight to seek consensus on a write-in candidate.Fort Bend County Chairman Gary Gillen wrote a letter to prospective candidates in the county urging them not to attend the meeting, saying it excluded grass-roots Republicans. But his counterpart in Harris County, Jared Woodfill, said the gathering was the best way to unify the party behind a single Republican candidate.
The write-in option in 2006 is, at best, the longest of long shots anyway; it's amusing now to see them fighting over the crumbs of PR for 2008 that might be the only real benefit.
