GOP Alert!

Chairman Weh has cancelled the state central committee meeting that was to take place on Saturday. The order of business was to amend the rules establishing state office elections in February and not in January. Some Politicos believe Weh & Company were trying to buy more time for their candidate to campaign. There has been speculation that Mr. Padoven (the only official candidate) is being supported by Weh and Sen. Rod Adair. Padoven is a relatively unknown candidate and would have needed the extra month to gain some votes. Dr. Allen McCulloch and Congressman Steve Pearce are the only other possible candidates interested in the job. Both McCulloch and Pearce have been actively asking central committee members to oppose Weh's previous proposal; it looks like their efforts proved to be successful. The elections will be held on January 10th in Albuquerque. To my knowledge only McCulloch, Pearce, and Padoven have expressed interest in the job. Padoven may now drop out of the race due to the lack of time to run an effective campaign. Keep reading for my next post on McCulloch and Pearce, this could shape out to be a real rumble in the jungle. It should be published by the end of the day.
