(Community Matters) What was expected to be an intimate gathering of Jack McDonald supporters hosted by John Thornton & Kirk Rudy rather demonstrated Jack’s magic. Instead of the expected 20, the lobby was overflowing with 80+ contributors, many of whom have agreed to a max out contribution. Most surprising, I’m not sure the room wasn’t filled half by Republicans.
Though they’ve now all given and their names will be in FEC records, I’m not going to mention names of those attending since several expressed slight unease, longtime friendships with the incumbent in Distr. 10, Michael McCaul and/or his wife, Linda, even business relationships with McCaul’s benefactor and father-in-law, Lowry Mays – not only the grantor of $50mm to Linda & Mike but a Texas billionaire and the founder of Clear Channel Communications. I think the Congressman’s failure to standout from recent lockstep obstructionist party votes and his prostrations for Rush Limbaugh are making it difficult to continue supporting Mike against such a qualified candidate as Jack. Though, I note many mention what a nice guy Mike is.
