Iremember Romero very well from his races against Wilson, which is why I thought about how nice it would be for him to run as an indy inthe House race in 2010.
I recall some controversy thatled many Democrats to desert him. Did he make a deal with Republicans to stay as Senate president or something? I can’t remember what it was.
Yeah, he bounced the venerable (and very corrupt) Manny Aragon from his perch as Senate President Pro Tempore in 2001 (after a whopping 13 years), although Aragon got the Majority Leader position later in the year when the DINO Tim Jennings left the job (I forget whether he was deposed or left voluntarily). Aragon is now in prison.
