This is an interesting article — one that details Protack’s long-time losing streak and continues the tradition of local Republican Party officials running away from him or trying not to acknowledge his existence. If this is the candidate that NCCo Chair Fleming ends up with that is not an especially auspicious start of this chairmanship. Although it it something of a piece with their “new ideas” for the County largely lifted from Nancy Willing’s blog; Mike Matthews’ (currently inactive) blog to a lesser extent and an occasional foray by this blog.
You’d think that a rebuilding effort would involve building on issues that the local repubs have been pushing (not just taking others’ idea without attribution) and fielding candidates who don’t bring with them their losing teabagger entourages. I have no idea what issues and ideas they’ve been bringing to the table over the years — but a look at their “ideas list” indicates that the NCCo Republican Committee doesn’t know either.
But they do have Protack,his rumored history of not paying his consultants (from a guy who says that the fiscal picture needs mature minds! what a card) and his really bad campaigns. Good luck with that!
