Governor's Race Will Unite MN House Republicans

With all due respect here's a counterpoint to the opinion expressed by Twice Blessed HERE at Conservative Cravings:

There is nothing like a robust endorsing process to infuse a flagging party with new energy and fresh perspective. In stead of imploring the House republicans to narrow their choices for Governor, I think this is a more the merrier proposition. The suggestion that members are going to compromise their integrity to use floor votes as leverage in the governor's race is an unfortunate insult to the folks we have serving in the House that have also stepped forward to pursue the GOP endorsement for Governor.

We need more leaders in the republican party. I believe that sincerely with regard to the precincts all the way up to the folks who represent us in Washington. We have spent far too much energy in the GOP tearing each other down. Instead of focusing on constructive ideas to move us forward some of our cadre have expended huge energy spreading rumors and defaming good people who they call "colleague" out of the other side of their mouths.

The House GOP made a great decision a few weeks ago when they chose Kurt Zellers as Minority Leader. Kurt being chosen is the first step toward uniting what was a fractured caucus and paving the way toward true teamwork, widely shared responsibilities and widely shared credit.

Fear not! The House GOP Caucus is poised to thrive in 2010. The gov endorsement race is only going to improve our stead.
