Missing Rand?
July 13, 2010 - by
Democrats are worried about losing the State Senate this year – especially without Tony Rand to run their caucus campaigns.
After Democrats came within one seat of losing the Senate in 1994, Rand and Marc Basnight build a high-performance operation. They hired good people, did good polling and spent money based on cold-eyed calculations – not friendships.
Insiders say Rand was the decision-maker. He made the campaign machinery run, just like he made the legislative machinery run.
The climate is tough enough for Democrats this year – nationally and in the state. It’s no team for a team to be without a manager.
