He needs help and needs to learn who to ask for help. If he doesn't, he is going to keep coming up short. He also needs to talk to the people he backed and get them off the race card. That won't help him on the credibility front.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9299655.post-46016015220802878782010-03-24T12:26:23.893-04:002010-03-24T12:26:23.893-04:00Walter Felton is a victim of having the best inten...Walter Felton is a victim of having the best intentions but not being wholly capable of executing them.

The guy was a disaster as a candidate for local office, showed his lcak of thought when he applied for county commission and clearly did a poor job in planning for people to run for state committee. <br /><br />If the state committee leaders really wanted Felton to go away, they would let him try to launch his poorly hatched plans and watch him go down in flames. <br /><br />In politics, you get three chances to get yourself elected or put into power before you just become laughable. Walt has gone down twice. If he has grand aspirations, he better use his last life wisely.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9299655.post-9713429024800068792010-03-24T10:58:22.088-04:002010-03-24T10:58:22.088-04:00I was critical of Rob's robo call against Lou ...I was critical of Rob's robo call against Lou Hershman.

State Dems would be threatened by a local guy building a power base by filling seven seats with his own people. They'd never let that happen. No problem passing $1,000 under the table to stop it.
