Oh no.
The Fort Bend Herald, the very newspaper that took Fort Bend County Sheriff Milton “Albatross” Wright to task for endorsing Richard Raymond for District Attorney here in Fort Bend County, is now reporting that the sheriff is now getting behind Nina Schaefer in her runoff bid to unseat Wright’s least favorite DA, John Healey.
Getting an endorsement from Wright these days is akin to having a dead albatross hung around your neck.
Mainly because the Herald had such negative comments on the sheriff’s endorsement, and mainly because Wright’s champion came in dead last in a 3-way race, this is really bad news for Nina Schaefer.
And apparently Richard Raymond no longer thinks that Nina Schaefer is “too liberal for Fort Bend County.” According to the same article, Richard Raymond, Schaefer’s former opponent, is also endorsing her.
I actually ended up rooting for Schaefer on Raymond’s recommendation that she was too liberal, but now wonder whether your typical die-hard primary runoff voter will have the same partiality.
So all you can hope for now is that your typical Republican diehard primary runoff voter will see the endorsements for what they are: an anyone but Healey endorsement.
Frankly, I am not optimistic.

Hal,
I too was for Nina. I knew her when she was more Independent than Republican and am appalled at the sheriff's endorsement. I thought she was smarter than that or at the very least more political smart. Now I wonder how much Wright paid HER to accept HIS endorsement? There had to be some sort of pay of to accept a Sleazy nod from the not soon enough retirement of Wright.
