Why Bother?
Written by Sam on February 26th, 2007The deadline to submit candidacy to become the next chairman of the Rhode Island Republican Party is looming this Saturday. The State Committee will vote for the chairman during their upcoming March 15th meeting. It should be a quick vote. Only one person has applied. Not many people want to do the job in the most Democrat state in the country.
On one hand, it is somewhat surprising there is such little interest. For the Democrat Party having such a huge registration advantage the Republicans have yet to become irrelevant. They currently have a Republican governor who just got reelected to another term and up until this past November, they have had a Republican Senator for a few decades.
On the other hand, that Senate seat was held by the Chafees, the father being fairly liberal and the son having a voting record more left than Hillary Clinton. Who would really be interested in pimping Republican candidates from that pool?

I thought Gov. Carcieri was relatively conservative.

Might as well just turn it over to Quagmire.

I always wonder if anyone in the state is able to correlate their horrid economy to their statist policies. It would seem obvious after all of these years that their poor decisions at the ballot box are responsible for their poverty and extreme disparity of wealth. Ah well, such is life.
