GOP Spat Menaces Social Scene 2
For Part 1, see earlier post …
The governor’s and senator’s staff members signal trench warfare.
If the strife gets really nasty, imagine dinner-party chat in the silk-stocking districts, not to mention Republican strongholds in Williamson County and elsewhere. How to steer the conversation away from the elephant-goring-in-the-room? And how to plan a larger Republican event while inviting both — or neither — candidate?
Luckily for local accord, many of the social captains who also donate to Republican candidates — Ann and Roy Butler, Patty and Jim Huffines, Pam and Dr. George Willeford, for instance — are the diplomatic kind. Willeford served as an actual ambassador under the Bush administration, albeit to relatively peaceful Switzerland and Liechtenstein.
Maybe she should be consulted before every Republican social affair.
