Well....Despite the horrendous record the Repiglicans have racked up nationwide, the Worcester County herd may have a long-term windfall on their hands in the form of Eddie Lee's landslide re-election to a seat on the Democratic Central Committee. With Lee now back in, it remains to be seen if other members of the committee will hasten themselves off the other more productive endeavors, as some threatened to do if Lee were to return to the committee. Lee's return is troubling not just in the context of his disruptive and downright physically combative behavior at meetings, but now with his trusty and explosive sidekick Tom McLaughlin and two other members from Pocomoke as a powerbase, Lee could gain control over the entire committee. If that happens, look for the committee to splinter and maybe go into meltdown mode.
And Lee's presence on the committee has already split the committee to some degree, with most members dreading his appearance at meetings. Recently, Lee's contentious behavior has included a physical fight in which he assaulted vice chairman Tom Widerman, and an attempted assault against Second District member Meme Well-Suznavick's husband, David. Still other reports say Lee got nose-to-nose with a highly-placed courthouse and challenged him to a fight last spring.
In still more good news for the republicans, Lee sabotaged an effort earlier this summer to increase minority voter roles. That move came after Lee persuaded the state Democratic Central Committee to provide help in increasing minority voter participation. But that effort fell apart when Lee refused to help a consultant sent in by the state party, and came in retaliation for local committee members refusing to support his move to fill the seat in the house of delegates left vacant by the sudden death of Bennett Bozman.

Eddie Lee is an embarrassment to not only Blacks and Democraps, but the whole human race in general. Nothing like pulling the race card if you can't get your own way. He, in his advertisement in the local papers stated the Meme couldn't represent a minority because she didn't know "the culture, the religion, the history, etc..." of the minority of the district. She didn't "live it". Well, as a white woman that lives in the second district, please explain to me how in the hell Eddie Lee can represent me? Actually, someone should tell Mr Lee...it's better to be thought a fool then to open your mouth and remove all doubt. oh yeah, and he should also use spell check
in a word; yes. They do have to file campaign finance reports. The next one is due Oct. 27
