Two-Time Loser And The Redistricting Guy Endorse Oscar Brock For TNGOP Chair

By Kleinheider Posted on May 29, 2009 at 9:47 pm

In a letter to members of the state Republican Party Executive Committee, Former Congressman Van Hilleary and National Committeeman John Ryder endorse Oscar Brock for TNGOP chairman and, in so doing, strongly imply that one of the other candidates (Chris Devaney) has a preference (Bill Haslam) in the upcoming gubernatorial primary:

Finally, we must have a chairman who will be an unbiased, honest broker with our state party’s resources during the upcoming primary elections. This will be especially true for what will no doubt be a hard fought Republican Primary for governor next year. Oscar Brock will absolutely be that chairman on whom we can count to be neutral in all primaries, but ferocious in the general election for our Republican nominees to all offices.

The election is tomorrow at the Sheraton downtown at 1:00pm. Candidates include Brock, Devaney as well as Rep. Eric Swafford.

UPDATE: Rob Huddleston in the comments:

You miss an interesting point here. John and Van are only a matter of months removed from a tense contest for the National Committeeman spot, which both of them had held previously.

For both of them to come forward and endorse Oscar Brock is impressive. Basically, every member of the SEC voted less than a year ago for either John or Van. Will such an endorsement on the eve of the vote carry any weight?

    Better yet, a five year old would have better grammer than that.

    I love it when grammar lessons are given from people who can’t spell the word grammar correctly.
