Voorhies Out
Bob Voorhies is out of the race for state Democratic chairman two days after filing his candidacy. In an e-mail Voorhies said he got out because he can count votes (and it was clear he would lose.) He used the e-mail, however, to air his grievances against Chairman Dan Parker, who is now unopposed in his bid for re-election.
The Voorhies gripe boils down to the way Parker handled the primary for governor last year. Without saying so directly, Voorhies makes it clear that he thought Jim Schellinger got preferential treatment from party headquarters.
Jill Long Thompson won, didn’t she?
