It occurs to me that if the county chair of the party is 27 - he is a fall guy.
The fake Tea Party had UAW help. He probably is the fall guy, although I know a couple guys about 32 on our side who are good enough to pull something like that off without the fraud. "The labor party." He would not try it today though. These two screwed up and panicked.
Party Chair is a nice title, but has a lot of responsibility and a very low pay. Probably minus $2000 at least each year. Chair has to have and go to all the fundraisers, and to state committee events. It's for ambitious staffers, power hungry elected officials, retired folks, or die-hards with a lot of time available in evenings and weekends. A lot of people don't want the position.
