But Wouldn’t Naifeh Just Have Straight Flipped Him?

By Kleinheider Posted on February 13, 2009 at 7:19 am

Newscoma ain’t buying the conventional wisdom that it was Rep. Gary Odom who ultimately persuaded Rep. Kent Williams that he could be Speaker:

This is my opinion and my opinion only: Gary Odom was not the mastermind behind the Kent Williams Speaker grab last month. I’m just saying. He may have been a foot soldier, and I’m not saying he didn’t play a part in it, but come on, everyone with a brain knows that it was Jimmy Naifeh who came up with this.

    Absolutely. Everyone with a brain and any sense of who runs the Democratic caucus knows it was Naifeh.

    Also, who had to step aside and make the way for Williams?

    It was Naifeh, not Odom, who cast the die.

    Hey, now. Don’t discount the role my arrogance played in all this.

    Robin and I practically forced Kent over to the dems.

    P.S. Has anyone seen my velvet glove? My iron fist is getting cold.

    Mumpower looked and behold there was a pale horse and his name that sat on him was Odom
