Don’t Be So Quick To Dismiss Davis
Posted on August 17, 2008 at 1:59 pmFormer 1st District Congressional candidate Vance Cheek warns against closing the book on Rep. David Davis’s political career:
Now that Davis has conceded the 2008 race and Phil Roe will be out next Congressman, I hear and read all over the internet and mainstream media that Davis’ stubborn refusal to accept defeat will be the downfall of his political career. I assure anyone reading this that nothing is further from the truth.
Davis is angry and bitter. I believe he felt entitled to the same political respect shown Jimmy Quillen and Bill Jenkins by allowing each of them to receive relatively uncontested GOP primaries. Davis will finish out his term with little fanfare and the transition with Dr. Roe will be a very easy one, whether or not Davis cooperates. Heck, in 18 months Davis just now probably found the closest men’s room to his DC office. I submit the key to Davis’ future will begin after the Christmas holiday.
By my pure speculation but based on his previous actions, Davis will pay top consultants to retool his image starting in the Spring. He will find a way, perhaps on the radio, to stay in the public eye and ear. He will move ever so slightly to the center when dealing with mainstream GOP’s. Most importantly, he will energize his small but dedicated base of support early and often.
While Davis retools himself, he will select the best year, 2010 or 2012. Just in his late 40’s, Davis has plenty of time and needs not to rush. When the stars are aligned just right, he will attempt to reclaim his Congressional seat. Hundreds of people who today consider his career ruined will find themselves with Davis yard signs back in their lawn. Will he succeed? It’s too difficult to see from here. I simply am certain he’ll be back.
