(promoted by Soren. This is a valuable debate)
I want to give my support to my friend Gary Emineth, the North Dakota GOP chairman.
Gary's a good man and a good conservative who's made real progress in modernizing the North Dakota GOP.
Ryan James pointed out that Gary got himself into The Hill with an unfortunate quote.
I believe that Gary was telling the literal truth -- that only the 168 RNC members are the ones who will elect the next chairman. That's why RNC members, who represent us as party members, need as many opportunities as possible to see the Chairman candidates.
Emineth is on our side -- creating another opportunity for the party to see the Chairman candidates and make them answer the tough questions.
I think that's critical. Let us see the candidates, on the blogs and in person. Let us question them and determine who's the best choice to lead the party.
To my knowledge, Gary is neutral in the Chairman's race at this point. That's all the more reason why we should support his proposal -- there's no strings attached.
Gary's the right kind of chairman. Conservative, smart, collaborative, and quick to support the changes we need. I support him.
