That does, indeed, sound like the CaGOP's MO.
There is no doubt that the CaGOP is wondering around in the wilderness. The lack of organization and the almost non existent leadership of Sundheim were the two main reasons why the Wilsonegger Gang was so easily able to co-opt the party in the summer of 2003.
The behavior of the CaGOP over these past 3 years has be inexcusable and the party will continue to languish on the fringe as it pursues expediency in a desperate effort to remain significant. The necessary changes in the CaGOP must start at the local level, at the Central Committees, if the party is too survive.
Donor development, volunteer recruitment, development at secondary and post secondary institutions, the creation of opportunities for young volunteers to participate as interns and identification/development of potential candidates are all local undertakings.
