Words To Live By
"You're just petty politicians, who'd sooner sign onto the wisdom of a tyrant in another country, than the demands of ticked off voters in your own." (Neil Cavuto June 2008)

“I didn’t question her patriotism. I questioned her judgment.” Mr. Cheney went on: “The point I made and I’ll make it again is that Al Qaeda functions on the basis that they think they can break our will. That’s their fundamental underlying strategy, that if they can kill enough Americans or cause enough havoc, create enough chaos in Iraq, then we’ll quit and go home. And my statement was that if we adopt the Pelosi policy, that then we will validate the strategy of Al Qaeda. I said it, and I meant it.” (Vice President Cheney NYT Feb. 2007)

"A political party cannot be all things to all people. It must represent certain fundamental beliefs which must not be compromised to political expediency, or simply to swell its numbers. (Ronald Reagan March 1, 1975)

"Oh, no! First of all, if I took one vote away from a serious candidate, it would be a sin." (Al Franken Time Magazine, 9/1/03)

« What We Have Here Is A Lack Of Patriots
State Central Dec 08 Live »

Twas The Night Before State Central…..

I have been pretty busy this week and haven’t really had the chance to do much and well, I’m going to do this now even though it is way too late. 

On Monday I posted about who is likely to be running for Party leadership next Summer. From what I am hearing I am pretty spot on. 

We have the establishment team Sutton-Brodkorb and the reformers Repya, Grams Fleming, and Matthews. 

Well there may be another person jumping in the race for the #1 chair.  www.mnrepublicansolutions.com

All indications is current Chair Ron Carey is going to pretend to not be irrelevant and quietly not run for reelection. But he may be involved in the race to replace him. As usual, the power brokers of the party are trying to coronate ”their guys”

The budget is going to be the budget, that is the whole point of this meeting tomorrow. I believe the proposal is one of the biggest off year ones, and given the economic times, it may be very risky. But it was crafted by the current leadership and well. 

I’ll be heading down to Bloomington for the meeting and will do some posting from there if the mood strikes. Hopefully it will be a nice boring meeting but with the opportunity for us to get to know who is running and to hear their pitches. I’m afraid the usual backroom tactics are being deployed by some and we all know how great that has been the last 2 leadership election cycles. 

Yes, they lead to massive failures on election day.

    Yep, it’s the state Chair that causes Republicans to lose. Not campaign, not volunteers, not candidates. It’s that pesky chair. Elect the right chair and we can all hang up our hats knowing that the next election is in the bag.

    Oh, piffle. I wonder how high up in the Party you have to go before you suddenly become one of “them” and stop being one of “us”? I’ve met everybody right up to the National chairman, and I haven’t met a “powerbroker” /or/ one of “their guys” yet. I’m not going to jump ship on any candidate for any position until I find out =why= they are better than who we already have. You can get new “leadership” and not get any new ideas.

    And apparently you failed to notice that the budget includes a new positions for improving outreach, fundraising, technology and communications, which are exactly the areas in which we need more work and new ideas. It looks to me like current leadership is making all the right moves.
