This is just my observation from living in Wisconsin and working the campaigns to elect conservatives. Some of my choices were not the establishment's choice during the primaries. Some county GOPs gave the unendorsed candidates the cold shoulder during the primary or they refused to allow their literature at GOP tables at public events.

Here's a link from Red State. I hope he does well and brings a more conservative face to the party, but people inside the Beltway are kind of strange.

Post your link for formal discussion. It is worth broadcast.

Wow, Red State ripped Reince a new one. It sounds like we may have gone from the frying pan into the fire. I hope that's not the case.

Sheesh, we don't need more drama from the RNC, just fund raising and promotion of conservative candidates.

Wouldn’t surprise me a damn. They’ve fooled us so many times it’s the default situation.

I read that link to the story against Priebus on RedState.

As you read that article, it is clear that the author’s entire gripe against Priebus goes toward alleged actions at our State convention last summer which endorsed Ron Johnson for Senate over two other candidates, Terrence Wall and Dave Westlake.

For Freepers who don’t know inside politics in Wisconsin, Wall and Westlake were vying for the right to run against Russ Feingold. Westlake had no money and Wall was a terrible candidate. Ron Johnson emerged because of this void and the party establishment quickly embraced him because he was so good (and guess what—he beat Feingold).

But these Wall and Westlake people are so enraged about Johnson not “waiting his turn” or entering the race early like they did. So they keep on pouting about things. Especially Wall. The guy still thinks he was robbed of a Senate seat by a conspiracy.

So this RedState rant is almost entirely inside baseball by a disgruntled supporter of a candidate who lost and partly blames Priebus for it.

All I care about is that the guy Priebus supported (Ron Johnson) was one heck of a great candidate and he knocked off a liberal lion in Feingold. We just ran great Tea Party candidates in Wisconsin and didn’t let the kook Tea Party faction like Christine O’Donnell types into these races. Part of that credit goes to Priebus
