Who SHOULD be the Chairman? What would his/her qualifications be? One of the problems with the idea of “throw the bum out” is that you create a vacuum. Who SHOULD be the Chairman?

It's just too bad that we have to wait until March and that Tom John can't be replaced immediately with a more positive leader for the fall campaign. His negative behavior does not help our party or it's image. Michael - you are right and I couldn’t agree with you more.

Believe me I'm with you in wanting to call for a head or two after 2007 after one of my friends was hung out to dry, in my opinion. But now is NOT the time. That's why there is reorganization next March. There's time to work on the reorganization effort come Wednesday November 5th after the election. Between now and November 4th it's all eyes on the ball. It's about Mitch, Becky, Greg, and Tony. It's all about your Republican candidate for State Representative. It's about your Republican candidate for State Senate, if yours is up for election. It's about Mark Leyva, Luke Puckett, Mark Souder, Steve Buyer, Dan Burton, Mike Pence, Jon Elrod, Greg Goode, and Mike Sodel going to Washington. It's about your local races as well. That's where we need to focus energy now. The reorganization will take place next year and the PC's voices WILL be heard.

Time to get our eyes on the ball. Whining about the party leadership is non-productive; they'll be dealt with at the proper time. Michael and Scratchman are both correct.

They need us. We know who we want to have elected in the fall, so let's cut the middleman and just do it. volunteer for the campaigns you want to volunteer for. Save the frustrations (and I know there are a lot--I'm in the same boat) for the reorginization. Remember our priority is the upcoming election.

Explain how that is truly in the best interests of the party. We need positive leadership and we need it now...particularly out of our state's largest county.

Absolutely. The State House is where most of "the action" takes place. HD97 will more than likely turn back over to the D's, regardless of whether Jon Elrod were to run for re-election or pursue the congressional seat. I know Chris Swatts and Adam Nelson will campaign tough for HD89 and HD86 respectively. We have a chance on some D seats, but I'm sure the House will be 51-49 or 52-48 again. Just depending on whether it's D or R. Yes. Absolutely. The State House is where most of “the action” takes place.
