Shot In The Dark: Reeling?

June 13, 2005

Reeling?

First Ringer covered the state GOP Central Committee meeting on Saturday.

Ringer:

As tempting as it may be for the media and the dissatisfied to claim Ron Carey’s victory as a victory of the ultra conservatives over the more traditional conservatives and moderates, it simply isn’t accurate. Without question, Carey’s backbone came from the old guard Quisties and Brian Sullvanites, but the majority that won were not attracted by Carey’s campaign of platform adherence and potential carrot and stick routine with the Governor. The majority saw weakness in 2004 and were willing to do anything to avoid it again. But without Eibensteiner or the House Caucus delivering a sacrificial lamb---an appeasement to the electoral gods as it were---arguing that lessons had been learned from a year prior had little effect. Heads had to roll and a message needed to be sent. Electing Ron Carey was a “safe” wake-up given his experience and history within the party.

I dunno. So much of the leader's job is personality and leadership. Does Cary have it?

[Carey] seemed legitimately star struck and lost for words in his acceptance speech, rambling on while unintentionally insulting Mark Kennedy.

Eibensteiner's toppling is a reaction to many things - the party's disappointing showing in the '04 presidential and state legislative elections chief among them.

I had a vision of the delegates waking up on Sunday morning: "We did what? We elected who?"
