Jay Kleberg & Diaz Take Different Approaches...
I saw Jay Kleberg, the one-time Republican challenger against Dee Margo in this years Republican primary at the Coronado High School debate.
I heard that Rene Diaz, who is now working for Dee Margo, accompanied him to a meeting of La Red to try to clarify remarks Margo had previously made that the group wasn't too happy with. Diaz apparently even offered to translate for any of the members of the organization that were more comfortable in Spanish.
La Red is a group of businessmen that would normally be the kind of guys that would back Dee Margo because he's a businessman and they tend to be conservatives.
Kleberg has kept a low profile since the election and I think its the first political event that I've seen Kleberg at since the election. If you follow David K's blog you will see some interesting back story here.
I talked with Kleberg after the debate to get his feel for how things went at the debate. Kleberg is always very careful about what he says to me (I get a lot of that)and chose his words carefully.
Kleberg is a guy with a political future and didn't have anything negative to say about either candidate.
I think its interesting that the two one-time rivals of Margo have taken such decidedly different tactics after the race. One being very calculating for his next run in the future and the other getting behind the nominee, to the point of becoming Margo's employee.
