Someone tell me, which Democratic fundraiser will Ronnie Earle be the keynote speaker at next? After all, he's more fit to be the Texas Democrat Party Chairman that Travis County District Attorney... Posted by: Trey at October 7, 2005 12:34 PMYou forgot to post Ronnie Earle's Democrat Party fundraising schedule..We've gotta hear him bash Tom Delay more while pursuing his "indictment", which I'm sure most legal gurus would term as a conflict of interest.... Posted by: Trey at October 7, 2005 12:36 PMRonnie Earle is not running for office so he would not appear in this post. He was re-elected last November by the voters of Travis County. The Republicans did not even field a candidate, his only opposition was a Libertarian and Earle took 83% of the vote. Obviosly the Republican Party wasn't too concerned. It is expected that this is Earle's last term as DA. Posted by: Karl-T at October 7, 2005 12:54 PMAnyone named after a flat portable surface to cater food shouldn't be discussing politics, Tray. Posted by: John at October 7, 2005 01:01 PMthey have to bash Ronnie Earle because it's so obvious that Delay is guilty. Posted by: some guy in Austin at October 7, 2005 01:11 PMI would think anyone w/ enough common sense would know that Ronnie Earle carries more appearance of a political activist than as a career prosecutor. And I'm curious..how many of the lefties who read/post to this blogsite plan to run to their local Blockbuster next year and pick up the movie about slamming Tom Delay, starring Ronnie Earle? The Judge Charlie Baird campaign is looking for 4 enthusiastic volunteers to help with parking and bumper sticker placement on cars. Your help will only be needed for approximately one hour. better check your jason earle link. It sent me to jason earle in princeton, NJ. Dont think he is running for office. Posted by: bilbo at October 11, 2005 08:50 AMThanks for the heads up....it's JasonEarle.net Posted by: Damon C at October 11, 2005 02:18 PMI am running for the US Congress in Texas District 3 against incumbent Sam Johnson.
