What I remember about Schlesinger in the 2006 race is that he was an obscure, “moderate” (pro-abortion, of course) former state rep with no achievements and who was noteworthy only because he had been banned from Foxwoods Casino for card-counting (which he tried to get around by gambling under an alias). RAT Congressman Murphy would be guaranteed reelection if Schlesinger won the FL-18 nomination. Fortunately, he’s not getting any traction.
I campaigned with/for Alan for about one month .... in July when I was guessing a 3-way race would be a good thing and I assumed Liarman would lose the primary.
Then when Liarman lost, the GOP rushed to HIM. I went and did something else. He was a successful mayor.
He’s a wretch, but not as bad as most politicos. He’s got the energetic personality for 1-on-1 campaigning ...
