Cornelius, when Did Rock become State Party Chair? How did it happen? Who actually ran things for Rock? What happened to Marie Holder (acting ED)? HOW MANY HOUSE SEATS DID R’S win when Rock was Party Chair (which ended with Gilbert Baker taking over after the ’04 election)? Better question: how many House seats did R’s lose in the ’04 election? And why didn’t Doyle do more when he was advising Rock as Rock’s CoS??

Is that a mugshot of Doyle?

Barbara – in what way was Webb responsible for the election of State Reps while he was Chief of Staff for the Lt. Governor? Just call me confused.

As much as I like Rep. King, I think it is difficult being a siting elected official and the party chair. I can see where there could be a conflict of interest. The party chair has to be very partisan which could bring ill feelings across the aisle. Gilbert Baker tried it and BeeBe came at him in his re-election bid.

I want my elected officials to reach out across the aisle from time to time, I don’t want my chairman to reach out across the aisle.

I hear Minority Leader Bryan King is eying the position too…

I agree…. Our party chairman doesn’t need to “work across the aisle”. He should be very partisan. With no possibility of deals with the Dems to keep us in the perm Minority.

Although John Parke isn’t running I think he would be a great choice.

Doyle? Wow, that’s change you can believe in. Perhaps he can take us back to 2003-2005, when he was Rock’s CoS…. and R’s lost seats in the House, and across the State.

Just what we need: more of the same.

Doyle, stay home, I’m voting for Joe.

Ummmm.

This is a disqualifying statement for a party chair:

“I feel I have the ability to work across the aisle with Democrats…”

Too bad, cause I kinda liked the little fella.

The last thing we need is the Napoleon complex Huckabite Doyle Webb.

Joseph Wood could be a good choice.

What we need is someone who can raise tons of money and recruit QUALITY candidates. That is the chairman’s primary responsibility.

I would prefer someone who has money and runs in money circles… preferably old money circles.
