There's plenty of blame to go around. We wouldn't be in this situation if Bill Rasnick hadn't moved away: maybe it's his fault. Davy is not the perfect candidate; at least some of it's his fault. Vernon cost us a few votes. Mike and Dan cost us a few votes by letting Vernon hang around. Deeds cost us votes by making the statewide races personal and going after McDonnell instead of campaigning on real issues. And the Republican State Leadership Committee in Alexandria cost us a couple of votes in the Northern District by sending little Willie Morefield $40K two weeks before the election.
It would have been nice if Childress had come around a little earlier. But he eventually did his part. I know Rene talked to David a lot. I can't help but wonder how many votes it would have gotten Woodard if he'd had one of his signs in the Steele's yard. I'd say 75 if I had to guess. There was one in my yard. But no one expected it of the Steeles, because they only show up at party meetings when it serves their personal ambitions. I could be wrong. I'll say I was wrong if either of them shows up at the next two party meeting. I'll even sit with them.
I don't blame Tom Childress or Spot & Rene. There's plenty of blame to go around. I could have made more phone calls...

If you will let me know when the meetings are, I'll be there with bells on.
Do we have any meetings that are not right before an election?
We have a meeting sometime soon to reorganize. David Larimer will step down as Party chair and we'll elect a new one. I'll let you know as soon as I know a date. December or January.
I've always wondered what you'd look like with bells on...
