“Bo Delp, spokesman and former communications director for Sen. Wendy Davis’ campaign for governor, has resigned.”
(By the way, Delp seems to go by Dr. Robert Delp for his resume.)
The Davis campaign has been roundly criticized from all sides (including liberal pundits and members of the press) for continued organizational problems and a candidate who did not appear to be ready for prime time. But for her spokesman to leave the most important, high profile, and well-funded Democratic campaign in Texas, things there must be even more dysfunctional than they appear.
Delp said Thursday that he is “considering a number of other opportunities in Texas Democratic politics.” Yes, because there are so many Texas Democrats with a higher profile than Wendy Davis.
Also, this bit is hardly reassuring for voters who want Davis to actually represent Texans and Washington, not just be another tool of the liberal elite:
“Zac Petkanas, U.S. Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid’s former communications director, became Davis’ communications director in March.”
Evidently getting her money out-of-state wasn’t enough for Davis; now she has to import her personnel from the national Democratic Party elite as well…
