Farouk Shami's team

I'm fascinated by Shami's gubernatorial bid. At a time when -- it seems to me -- most Texas Democrats are pretty excited to have a possible winner in Bill White, Shami is willing to spend $10 million to contest that wished-for coronation.

So, Texas Tribune's writeup of Shami's team fascinates me. His campaign staff has a blogger contingent: Vince Leibowitz and Charlie Ray of Capitol Annex and Pink Dome, respectively, as well as Progressive PST, apparently a "netroots" company.

Other consultants include Robert Jara, Dan McClung, Ben Tulchin, Tad Devine and Julian Mulvey. A decent list.

I'll be fascinated to see what the Texas liberal bloggers do. And with $10 million to spend, they can amply point out Bill White's shortcomings as mayor.

Huh? Shortcomings? I read the Chronicle, and I have seen no reporting of these shortcomings of which you speak.
