Bill Pantele and his people tried for months, led by the head of the Richmond City Democratic Committee Eric Payne, to pack the Richmond City Democratic Committee with pro-Pantele members in order to set-up a rigged the process to get Mr. Pantele the RCDC endorsement. But when they realized that Dwight Jones and his campaign had done a better job packing the RCDC with pro-Jones people, then Eric Payne tried to thwart the Jones people by dragging things out to make it impossible for them to get the endorsement. Last night, the Jones people pulled a power play on Pantele and got Jones the endorsement through an even more rigged process!
I saw this coming last April, which is why I wrote my letter to Mr. Payne hoping to force the process into the sunlight and why I wrote my article discussing the RCDC endorsement and what it would mean to get on the official Obama Democratic ballot.
But never did I imagine they would be so blatant about things, to have a total sham for a process, to treat everyone including the public with such disdain.
So today, to hear Bill complain about Jones is really more crocodile tears than the flood wall in Shockoe Bottom might be able to handle.
Come on Bill, fess-up: your plan to rig the DEM endorsement and then the election by getting yourself on the official Obama ballot was thwarted by Dwight and his campaign. Ironically, there is a good chance Bill decided to run for Mayor because Eric, et. al. promised him they could control the Richmond City Democratic Committee.
So when Highway 101 is in town to do a concert, they should call Bill and have him sing the chorus to their big hit "Cry, Cry, Cry."
