Rather than regurgitate something covered very much in depth by Lowell over at Blue Virginia, I just recommend everyone go over there and read what he had to say about the transgressions at the Republican 10th District convention on Saturday.

In short, Frank Wolf’s preferred nominee to head the committee lost, and they get a “Kookanelli Kollaborator” instead.

So, to recap, we have a Cooch disciple heading the LCRC, and now a Cooch disciple running the 10th CD Republican committee. This in itself portends that the congressional campaign this Fall is almost surely going to take a severely negative turn.

But luckily, we have a man running for Congress in Jeff Barnett who isn’t afraid of what the lunatic fringe is going to lob at him. He served valiantly for 26 years in the Air Force, including a stint as “a campaign planner for the first Gulf War”, and then later as “Chief of Staff for a 6,000 person, multi-national peacekeeping force” in Croatia, “the most successful peacekeeping mission in UN History” (all quotes from Jeff’s campaign website). A true patriot, indeed.

So bring on the dirty politics, Republicans; we’re ready for it, and the good people of the 10th District are going to see through it for what it is – desperation.
