Tim Besco and Oscar Gonzalez
So as I mentioned in the last post, Tim Besco and his campaign manager Oscar Gonzalez were in attendance at a campaing fundraiser that was way out of the district Besco is running in.
I went and greeted them. For some weird reason, Oscar always drifts behind me when I'm talking to Besco and I guess he doesn't think I notice that he does that.
Its annoying and I actually physically turned so that I could see him. Its weird, and I don't think anybody likes it when someone stands behind them.
But eventually Besco and I got back to talking about his race. I mentioned to him that I noticed his two top performing precincts were in the district he was running in.
He said he knew that with a pretty health dose of confidence.
The thing is, there are a shitload of candidates running in that race. The conservative vote in that district is very significant, but what good is it to any of the them if it is splintered among several candidates?
Its true that name recognition goes a long way in a crowded race, and Besco certainly has it. But I don't think he and his campaign manager have grasped two important concepts.
#1 - As well as he did in those Westside precincts, many, if not most, of those votes were AGAINST the congressman, not necessarily FOR Besco. You could've put a Double Order from Chicos on the ballot against the congressman in that area and it would do just as well.
#2 - Though he might have high name ID, its not necessarily positive name ID. There are a significant number of Republicans that have not forgotten his famous "Fuck You" parting shot to the El Paso Republican Party following his beat down from the Congressman.
I can't prove it, but sources tell me that C-Lo Green was forwarded the email and it was the inspiration for his latest hit.
Tim Besco should consider using it as his campaign theme song. Just a suggestion.
