MNGOP Leadership Candidates
Come one come all to the big tent known as the MNGOP. Let's encourage anyone who wants to run for party leadership to step up and get the word out on their candidacy. To that end please visit www.DraftRodGrams.com , a new site to rally support for Rod Grams run for chair. More details about Rod will be added to the site in the coming days.

Oh, great. Not only do we want to give the job to a guy who has never held such a job before, but who doesn't even want it?! (Rod, I'm one of your biggest fans, so if you want the job, throw up a flag or something, please?) There's no point in changing captains until we discover what course they intend to sail-- around the reefs and shoals would be good.
The only way this makes any sense is if you want to agree with the Zaphod Beeblebrox theory of elective office. That is, since it's so difficult and thankless, anyone wanting it has proven they are insane and must be instantly disqualified. Only those running madly from the prospect can be elected.
J. Ewing
Maybe he's 'running madly from the prospect', as there is a "draft" campaign underway. Does that make him the electable candidate?
Rod was a do-nothing for the six years he occupied a seat in the Senate. (And, yes, there is such a thing in the Congress as an activist conservative. See Ginrich, Newt, for example.) He went on to lose an election in 2000after running a lackluster campaign on an equally lackluster record. I agree that we need a change in leadership for our party, but Rod Gramms as chair is the DFL's early Christmas present.
Id like to nominate Pat Anderson..
Hey! who doesnt like Pat?

So far these are the candidates who have steped forward.
Rod "please I want to go back to Washington and feel important" Grams
And the two non-change candidates:
Joe Repya - Who planned to lead Veterans for McCain before trying to run for chair last time. Anyone who saw or heard about his behavior at last State Central knows he is a non-factor now.
Dorthy - Who claim to fame are she is loved by the cult of Ronulans and supported the efforts that have bankrupted CD2 financially.
There are a lot (too many, IMHO) of people in the Party who think that replacing the Chair somehow magically creates electoral victory. It's not that simple.
Find a new Chair, with brilliant ideas, people skills to inspire the grassroots to actually implement those ideas, and the organizational skill to coordinate it, and then we can talk. Better yet, find three of them, and we'll have an election to pick the best one.
J. Ewing
Keep up the infighting folks.
The DFL loves it, like blood for the vampire.
What does Dorothy Fleming have to do with CD2, and where is the financial trouble there? Methinks you are confused. And Dorothy has some good ideas, and good people skills. I would happily vote for her rather than Nobody.
And once again, if /all/ you're doing is replacing the Chair, you're wasting our time.
J. Ewing
"Dorthy - Whose claim to fame is she is loved by the cult of Ronulans."
If by Ronulans you mean Paul supporters, they feel no love for her. Not sure where the hell you got that idea. (If not, my bad.)
-Cult: great devotion to a person, idea, object, movement, or work.-
I myself am devoted to the ideas of conservatism and liberty, and the grassroots movement.
Unlike Obama, Paul gave his 'cult' real ideas to grasp, and reading lists to learn. Ask a Paul supporter why he supports him. He'll tell you, and I can guarantee he'll have more to say than, "For change." It's not the man, it's what he's saying. (Again, unlike Obama.)

This remark sounds just like Ron Carey and Ed What'shisname when they came to the 48B meeting and demanded we support Jim Abeler despite his liberal voting record, his endorsements and contributions from highway contractors, labor unions and DFL legislators, his childish public tantrums and marginally sane monologues he delivers whenever asked a question. You, anonymous; keep up the work of the liberals in trying to push the GOP "left-center".
