What's Next for Dee Margo?
I've been wondering what is next for Forma Group's second most famous client, Dee Margo. His term as being the Over Lord at the entity formally known as EPISD is coming to a close, allegedly.
So after closing a bunch of schools, whats next for Margo?
Well he could always run for city council but that seems beneath him. Plus, it would depend on the field, although he'd be very difficult to beat.
Anything countywide is out of the question. He'd get thumped.
The only option for him is state representative. But lets be honest, thats not going to happen as long as Joe Moody is still around. So what is the solution?
How do you get Moody to WANT to leave his current state house seat? The answer is simple, dangle something else in front of him.
That is why the idea of Moody running for District Attorney is being floated around. Why fight a fight you can't win if you can get your enemy to vacate the field and you can move right in.?
They'd much rather have Moody go for that office and leave the HD 78 seat open for Margo. I'm not sure if they have played this movie out to the end yet, but why in the hell would Moody even leave the legislature now?
The DA seat isn't up now and what is in it for Moody to go after Esparza?
Sure, Esparza is more politically vulnerable now than he has ever been in his political career. He went from the heir-apparent to Silvestre Reyes' congressional seat to praying he doesn't get an opponent. All it takes is a female Hispanic candidate not named Theresa Cabellero to run against him and he's toast. Why would Moody bother getting mixed up in that bloody mess?
Time is on Moody's side. He's still very young. He's better off letting Esparza ride off to pasture and then going after the job if its even something he's considering.
The problem with their logic is the fact that the election math is only right during gubernatorial years and every year that passes that districts get browner and more Democratic. They are now four years away from another showdown where the math works.
Good luck with that...
