RNC members call unprecedented special meeting

[Are_grits_groceries]

For the first time in party history, members of the Republican National Committee have called their own unscheduled meeting without the aid of the Washington-based party apparatus.

Organized by North Dakota Republican Party chairman Gary Emineth, the meeting will convene for the specific purpose of hosting a forum for candidates running to chair the national committee. Members will meet at an as-of-yet-undecided location in Washington on January 7.

The unscheduled and unexpected meeting, plans for which were first reported by The Hill, was called by Emineth and 21 other RNC members from 18 states, according to a memo from the RNC counsel’s office. Party rules stipulate a meeting must be called by at least 16 members from 16 different states.

According to those familiar with party rules, individual members have never called a meeting under the arcane rule.

I love the sound of Rethugs chewing each other up!

1. Maybe they will all join in and sing "Barack the Magic Negro"

and have a jolly old time...

2. They're going to vote to get "Sarah" off the front pages as the "image"

of the party (IMO). I think also, that many were disgusted by the "Magic" CD that was sent out. It's a new image time my friends. At least that's what I'm thinking....

3. This is a most revealing paragraph from the article. Hoo Hoo Hoo

“Most Republicans do not know who the RNC chairman is or anything about this process. The more exposure of the candidates, their values and how they intend to turn the party around is good for public input and debate,” Emineth told The Hill. “I think Republicans are ready for a new era without Karl Rove calling the shots.”

Turn the party around = turning away from Rove?

New era? Rove not calling the shots.

Maybe Rove won't even have a job with Murdoch.

Aw, that's right, he's quick on his feet, he can slip right in and say he always believed in whatever direction the NEW Republicans take.

4. Rove is now poison?

Bush and Rove poison to RNC ?

Oh happy day.
