Medina Loses in Landslide
By an almost 8-1 margin Othon Medina lost the election for the state chair of the Tejano Democrats at the convention over the weekend.
Joey Cardenas was elected the state chair by a vote count of 872-168 according to sources at the convention.
As previously mentioned Medina is often viewed as controversial because of what some characterize as confrontational and difficult to deal with which may explain why he didn't have much support, though he carried sizable support among the El Paso delegation.
Another large factor is the fact that Harris County showed up with 300 delegates. They basically ran the convention with that many delegates because voting is at least partially based on chapter strength.
BLOG NOTE: I've been getting a lot of questions about the amount (or lack thereof) of posting on my blog lately. I've been busy. I'm up to something. Also, its been pretty quiet on the campaign fronts.
