State Party Chair

On Monday we are going to elect a new state party chairman. Chris Redfern seems to have the necessary votes to win, although a last minute coalition is attempting to beat him. What's bad about this is that Redfern isn't planning on giving up his day job.

Look, we need a full time state party chair. Hell, we probably need two or three the way this operation has been run into the ground. We don't need a guy who is going to do a half assed job half the time. Next year's elections are too crucial for that. Whoever wins next year gets to run as an incumbent in 2010, and whoever wins then gets to redraw the lines.

Redfern isn't even that good of a minority leader. I guess the bottom line is that frankly put, Chris Refern as state party chair is failure's savior.

Redfern has been a very good leader in the house. He has picked up more seats than any Dem leader since Vern Riffe. he has raised more money than anyone.

His only failure was when members of his own caucus made deals with Householder to pass the 03-04 budget. But some of those responsible ended up losing because of that vote. (Larry Price)
