UPDATE: GOP Convention News: Sig Stomps on Protack, O’Donnell Stomps on Veracity
– Protack’s huffy exit caused him to miss the standing ovation that followed when someone thanked him for his “years of service.”
-While he talked about Jesus being on Don Ayotte’s side, Eric Bodenweiser wore his best Boss Hog White Suit in order to reinforce his message that SC Republicans are an anachronistic joke.
– Seiglar defeats Protack by 276 to 43 votes for GOP Chair. Thus making Protack’s election record a hard to rival, 0-11
– Ayotte nominated by Bodenwiser for VChair. Will Ayotte lose by fewer votes than Protack? Smart money says yes.
-Ayotte garners 63 votes to Lavelle’s 269 – making Protack this year’s biggest loser. (Thus bringing his “biggest loser record to an impressive 11-0 )
– Christine “I’m lying” O’Donnell could not make it to the dinner last night due to “traffic.”
– DE GOP Presidential straw poll has 15 flavors of crazy:
* Michele Bachmann, the birther who likes to make up shit crazy.
* John Bolton, the “I wanna bomb the shit out of everything” crazy
* Herman Cain, I’m a rich guy who is not named Trump crazy
* Chris Christie, fat looser who figured out that teachers are parasites crazy
* Mitch Daniels, I’m not Charlie Daniels but I want to fight the devil in a fiddle paying duel crazy
* Newt Gingrich, I’m not faithful to my wives becuase I love America too much crazy
* Mike Huckabee, Jesus wants me to be in the WHite House crazy
* Gary Johnson, Republicans will vote for a Libertarian from New Mexico crazy
* Sarah Palin, ’nuff said crazy
* Tim Pawlenty, I’m not as fat as Christie, but just as crazy crazy
* Ron Paul, the gold standard of crazy
* Charles Elson “Buddy” Roemer III, American’s need a buddy crazy
* Mitt Romney, I have more flip[s than Wilson and more flops than Spiderman crazy
* Rick Santorum, “eewww” crazy
* Donald Trump, I’m going to blow this mother-fucking race up crazy
Bwahhhaaaaa! Poor Ayotte. He was going to “revolutionize” the state party. Now he’s a two time loser (dropping out of the chair’s race to run for VC and losing that). Maybe he can get consoled by St. Bodie Girl as they lick their wounds and plan for the destruction of the Sussex GOP.
I just heard that Protack left after the vote in a little huff. Maybe the DEGOP will not have Mike to kick around anymore.
Protack keeps up his perfect record!
Well, so much for the teabag takeover of the DEGOP. I guess the teabagz will have to continue making asses out of themselves from the sidelines.
I’m afraid to go look at DP? Are they happy or sad over there. Perhaps the huge losses attributed to O’Donnell have hurt the teabag brigade.
So is the tale here that the NCCo GOP money won and the teabagz are full of sound and fury signifying nothing?
Way to keep your perfect losing record, Protack!
So Bodenweiser traded in his white spiked heel shoes for a white suit?
Well, St. Bodie Girl couldn’t wear the white heels – it’s before Memorial Day.
I guess we’ll have the Delaware GOP and a separate Sussex County party, whatever they’ll call themselves.
all around good news actually because they will continue to in-fight and tear themselves apart
Bodenweiser said JESUS was on Ayotte’s side – therefore Jesus did what was best – so Bodenweiser isn’t really chaneling God after all
Phew – wouldn’t want the Messiah to have come and be right here in Sussex and have missed him – that wouldn’t be good
Pride, Messrs Ayotte and Bodenweiser, cometh BEFORE the fall and PRIDE is also one of the seven deadly sins
of course, a lying tongue is also frowned upon according to Scripture – are you listening Christine??
Perhaps the standing ovation was due to Protack leaving?
In a related story, a single engine plane augured into an abandoned chicken house in Clarksboro. Only the mustache remained of the pilot.
So why does Sigler have that “oh fuck, what did I get myself into” look on his face in the NJ today?
Because he’s thinking, “Oh, fuck, what did I get myself into?”
On the Protack front, DP has the district-by-district numbers. Protack lost in New Castle County 159-16. In his home areas — Brandywine, Wilmington, Mill Creek — he lost 96-1, his wife no doubt the one. To know him is to loathe him.
Actually, they are members of Christiana/MillCreek which cast no votes for Protack. Now that hurts!
Guns are good. That’s what the De. GOP got themselfs into. They are very hard right and very easy to whip @ the polls while the up state down state fight continues. Cold and hard is what the New GOP has become. Stick around.
Some of those Republicans should challenge Seigler about the fear-based lies that the NRA uses to generate funds and members.
I’m referring to the constant message that Democrats want to take away your guns. They said Clinton was going to take away guns, and that the assualt rifle ban was the first step in a full-fledged confiscation.
Well, it never happened. Clinton never confiscated weapons. There was never an attempt by the president to curtail the efforts of sportsman.
The NRA keeps lying to these people, they believe, they donate money, and those members need seem to get angry after being lied to time and time again.
Rant over.
Have a great Sunday everyone. –Jim
So O’Donnell is some kind of archetypal high school “mean girl” who just keeps attacking people in an attempt to keep them from noticing that what a loser and a twit she is. With Ross and Castle gone, her current target, Priscilla Rakestraw.
I don’t have any great love for Shakey Rakey – but I hope the DE GOP gets a clue about what a transparent grifter and con artist O’Donnell is.
Say what you want but I was a delegate to Newark and the plan Mike had was what we needed, but it required the the Region leaders and other leaders to be accountable. No way.
FYI, the only minorities in the room were the ones who nominated Mike, the rest of the GOP is pretty racist.
The results of the election means we are dead forever. A gun guy for GOP head is scary and Lavelle is not up to any job in the GOP.
Have fun at Mike’s expense but he is the luckiest guy in Delaware because we are toast. The standing ovation was the truth, he had the right plan but the biggest collection of idiots in delaware are the GOP delegates.
I am in DC today and the RNC is aghast at the Delaware move. The NRA supports more Dems than Republicans in Delaware I wonder how Sig Heil Sigler will deal with that in 2012.
Good post Mike. I’m sure the RNC is enamored with Delaware after the COD debacle. Couldn’t you make some kind of deal with your wife to get one vote out of your home region?
Every time Protack gets beat, an anonymous excuse maker pops up explaining how he really is winning by losing. Honestly, some intrepid blogger should go back over the past decade and collect them all- it would be hysterical reading. Honestly, Protack is the most significant Delaware Republican in the 21st Century, but in an entirely negative way. He and his band of gangster slanderers have driven so many people away from politics. His dirty primary race against Bill Lee probably cost Lee the election the first time around, and I wonder if having to deal with attacks like the Pink Postcards played any role in Levive deciding not to run? Anyway, he is a purely negative force, and he and his crazed minions have wrecked absolute havok on the DE GOP.
As the vote Saturday showed, he has no minions. It’s him, one or two followers and lots of anonymous aliases. But I agree with the rest of your analysis.
“Thus bringing his “biggest loser record to an impressive 11-0”
So does that mean he’s winning or losing? If you win at a losing contest is that irony or not?
band of gangster slanderers
This is a perfect description of the loser behavior of Protack and his minion. Trying to bully his way around the political world — without having especially effective skills as a bully and largely missing the point of politics, which is building coalitions.
@ cassandra_m- yep, and it is really very evil when you think about it. The whole point is to deter people from wanting to be involved in politics. In a democracy, that is *evil.*
Rose Izzo has more credibility right now that that mustachioed weirdo.
