If the members of the Executive Committee have not told you to go to LuAnne's house and beg her pardon, let me tell you that there are more than a few of us in the AADems who think that resolving a personality conflict via party resolution is like shooting a fly with a cannon. You're picking on a volunteer for heaven's sake. That's the extent of your political skill? What would you do as Mayor if someone pissed you off? Have them arrested? At the moment, it appears that power doesn't seem to suit you. You're embarrassing the party. Work it out. Call her up on the phone and apologize. Take the woman to lunch. Ask her to help on the redesign. Use your words, as I say to my kids when they start beating on each other over something stupid. Conan, three people sent me this same link.

Conan Smith as Chair of the AADems looks like the best thing that's happened for those of us who'd like nothing better than to see the Dem lock on Mayor and Council broken in YEARS! Finally, someone willing to take on the sacred AA Dem cow. I love good theater. A friend just sent me this link.

Nice work! I'm an A2 Republican, so seeing the local Dems and their tragic opera doesn't break my heart, frankly. Maybe Conan Smith's Mama never told him that it's rude to bully women to get what he wants. This is such a strange story. Sounds like other dynamics at work. Keep up the good work, Conan, and maybe next year we can get a couple Republicans elected to City Council!! Found this blog on Google. Nice work!

The whole situation is crazy, and Smith needs to take a deep breath and realize that he has lost control of the game for whatever reason. This Bullington woman has more balls than Smith does! Connie H. is right that, at this point the fight is so not about the credit card or the password. It's a power struggle, and Smith lost. Next agenda item. A2Politico you are one wicked librettist.

Thu, 08 Oct 2009 00:19:10 +0000 http://www.a2politico.com/?p=908#comment-263 I've read some of the other comments that talk about the need for satire in writing about local politics. I couldn't agree more. What better way to point out the sheer absurdity of the situation within the local AADems. I've never even heard of the group, and I've lived here for more than six years. I'm a registered Democrat. What's up with that? Sounds like it's one of those groups for the in crowd, and the rest of us are not really part of the discussion. And this RESOLUTION!! Holy cow. Is Conan Smith for real? Edward V. makes a good point, of course, that changing the CC info. is easy, but it's obvious this crazy situation isn't about a credit card anymore. This was some first rate entertainment. I’ve read some of the other comments that talk about the need for satire in writing about local politics. I couldn’t agree more.
