My question that I would like to ask Gene is . . . how bad to you want to win? Do you want to win so bad that you are going to get involved with people you would NEVER have gotten involved in?"This was Gary Polland, Editor of Texas Conservative Review and co-host of Red, White and Blue, referring to a) Locke being a no-show on the Red White and Blue mayoral runoff show, and b) getting in bed with Hotze, Blakemore and the Houston Pastor Council. I mean, here's a conservative having to tell a Democrat not to go chasing after crazy right wing support after you've courted all the Democratic and gay groups in town.
Locke has got to be embarrassed that this question of "are you desperate or what?" had to be asked by a Republican when it was Republican votes he was seeking when he asked for Hotze's endorsement. Polland speculates this is why Locke was a no-show - he was embarrassed to answer questions publicly about why he was asking gay organizations for their endorsement with one pincer, while asking for the rabidly anti-gay Hotze's endorsement with the other pincer.
Polland snapped Locke's Republican pincer right off. Here's the wrap up to Friday's Red, White and Blue:
Here's the whole show. I'll have more to say about this in another post. The intro, where it's made clear Locke was invited and had confirmed, but was a no-show is worth a quick watch:
