All that free publicity washed right down the drain.varangianguardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12571595354792261993noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3126825064641092276.post-87939073803784880562009-11-26T22:01:10.218-05:002009-11-26T22:01:10.218-05:00I certainly agree that a Brizzi candidacy would ha...I certainly agree that a Brizzi candidacy would have made things more difficult for a Democrat. His name-ID alone woudl have done that. <br /><br />I, however, never bought that Brizzi was going to run for a 3rd term, even prior to the Durham affair. Politicians are risk adverse. Brizzi ran the gauntlet in the county in 2006 and won even though it was a Democratic leaning county and all the other countywide Rs lost Now in 2010 the county is even more Democratic. It makes no sense for Brizzi to go for a 3rd term. It makes sense for him to go out after his 2nd term on top, a winner.<br /><br />I don't buy that no law firm would be interested in Brizzi. While he may not be a very good administrator, I haven't heard anyone claim Brizzi isn't a good trial attorney. Even if he were a mediocre attorney, which he isn't, big law firms like Barnes & Thornburg, Ice Miller, etc. hire mediocre attorneys all the time IF they think the attorney can bring political influence to the firm. I have no doubt that Brizzi, even if damaged by the Durham affair, will still be able to do that.Paul K. Ogdenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16137003328850866711noreply@blogger.com
