Who is he and what role does he play? He wasn't a candidate but he seemed to know the who's who present last night, if you wanna call them that. I saw him joking around with Ballard<BR/><BR/>RESPONSE: <BR/><BR/>He's the Marion County Republican Parties black token, Avechino Reeves. Hired after the 2006 Elections. I can't imagine "what" he'd be capable of in the party, except be a flunky and token--which it appears he is, thats why he had no real role except to sit up there on stage, smiling and grinning, proof that the republican party is "inclusive" visible for the camera's and people to see; a hollow, empty shell with dark pigment. (PERIOD) But that's all the Marion County Republican party needs to meet the "good faith effort" at diversity.<BR/><BR/>Avechino ran for Mae Dickinson districts in 2006 at the same time as Eric Dickersons' campaign. <BR/><BR/>Like a slave he let David Brooks and the rest of the republican party tell him to stay away from the other "black" candidates, especially Eric Dickerson, thereby hurting both races. <BR/> <BR/>Instead, he participated as part of a tag-along cast to bolster Carl Brizzi's "Grand Entrances". He did this for months, in Brizzi shadows, with Brizzi speaking and him just there as a token in the Brizzi campaign, just like lastnight, instead of a serious state rep. candidate. Someone forgot to tell him that people don't vote for "servants" and you don't get black votes by campaigning with a PROSECUTOR.<BR/><BR/>Of course he lost miserably in his predominately district because he did not campaign, (or maybe his handlers had him convinced that that WAS the way to campaign) insteading of hitching to Brother Dickerson, to hitch to a white man that refuses to give him a job after the election.<BR/><BR/>So, he's been mooching around for a job. He hold's some position with the Republican Party, doing what? I have no idea and don't care. He's no use to anybody but his exploiters. I hope they have fun with him, they deserve it if it gives it up so easily.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12703782.post-64533673163558981612008-01-14T18:41:00.000-05:002008-01-14T18:41:00.000-05:00I see anon 1240, the bitter campaign volunteer is back...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12703782.post-50432488900390461512008-01-14T18:39:00.000-05:002008-01-14T18:39:00.000-05:00"Robin Winston is a rude little toad.

So, as he's been so ably trained to do, he starts pulling arrows from the quiver and casting them about hoping one sticks. They don't have to be factual, fair, germane, meaningful, or ethical. Just attack with everything you can think of until the slime gets so thick that it obscurs the truth.<BR/><BR/>It's shameful, cynical, and deeply dishonest and it sullies the political process to the point that people are repelled from participating. <BR/><BR/>I would say that same thing about those who would smear Andre Carson with unfounded accusations about his religion. I just can't abide listening to Wilson cry about these attacks when he and his cohorts are absolute champions at the same smear tactics. <BR/><BR/>We now have a choice between two young men with very different levels of experience, different political philosphies, and different paths to their ambitions. Let's listen to them and make a choice without destroying either of them in the process.<BR/><BR/>What do you say, Wilson?
