"Blessed is the man to whom the Lord does not impute iniquity,
And in whose spirit there is no deceit."
Psalm 32:2
We said our piece last week about the utter, total, and complete failure that led to Dan Huberty facing a cakewalk re-election; but now that Huberty's officially running unopposed, we noticed a very interesting nugget in the press coverage:
“Game over,” Huberty consultant Allen Blakemore said in a Friday statement.Sssay what...Allen Blakemore is Dan Huberty's consultant?!?
[Author's Note: Emphasis added.]
For those who might not be aware, Allen Blakemore's most famous client is Lt. Governor Patrick. Blakemore is often seen as a direct proxy for the Lt. Governor. Given this background, for Blakemore to be consulting for Dan Huberty is, at best, deeply unsettling.
To review: Last Session, Dan Patrick's top two priorities were property tax reform and school choice. Dan Huberty maliciously killed the latter while he was a key player in watering down the former into meaninglessness. At the same time, Huberty was pushing a dishonest school finance scheme that the Lt. Governor (correctly) characterized as a "Ponzi scheme."
Yet they have the same political consultant.
Bottom Line: For a political consultant who is often perceived to be the Lt. Governor's direct proxy to also be the political consultant for a house committee chairman who took a lead role in killing or watering down the Lt. Governor's top two priorities last session is...strange.
