Boyd Richie named Interim Chair of TDP

What a surprise. NOT. :yawn:

I guess there are no disagreements about the direction of the party then.
:sarcasm:

SDEC chairwoman:

The Nominations Committee held an open meeting (yes – you can come and watch). Glen Maxey was invited to speak at Nominations but he passed. Lakeshia Rodgers (LaRouche) did speak for 3 minutes. The only name placed in nomination by the committee was Boyd Richie and it was unanimous. At the General Session, Charlie Urbina Jones was nominated from the floor. He made a short speech about reaching out to our grassroots and then withdrew his name. At which point the SDEC elected Boyd Richie by acclamation. Boyd has earned the respect of the SDEC. He and his wife Betty (DNC) are hard grassroots workers. They know what it takes to win. Boyd has recently won several terms as County Attorney so he is experienced in campaigning and WINNING. Boyd told us to “Practice inclusion and show each other respect and respect to each voter.” He made it clear “It’s not about winning arguments, it’s about winning elections.”

I would say this indicates there are no disagreements within the SDEC. It's a stretch to assume the delegates to the convention will agree.

of haveing Slagle chair the convention is that at least it won't be one of the candidates for chair. And Bob was a hoot chairing the last convention. There were a few voice votes on resolutions that Bob called the right way - it was kinda fun to watch.

But I agree...naming an interim chair who is also running for permanent chair is a BAD BAD BAD idea.
