Looking back at Bob Lanier's 1991 campaign dream team
On Sunday, the Chronicle's Rick Casey took a fascinating look back at Bob Lanier's 1991 campaign team -- and how members of that dream team have gone on to much bigger things.
It's an interesting read, especially coming from a columnist who did not live here during the Lanier campaign or administration and whose expertise is San Antonio.
Perhaps this line that effectively sets up the substance of the column is telling:
Consider this lineup of then-30 somethings, drawn largely from a short list culled for Lanier by longtime Houston political operative Dave Walden:
Does anyone else think that Walden dropped this great column idea on Casey, who then paid him back with that nice mention (nicely timed before the next municipal races)?
That would be a smooth move from a top local political operative. If it happened that way, of course.
