    The Job of State Chairman (none / 0) (#10)
    by mccarthy on Mon Nov 29, 2010 at 01:32:33 PM EST
    Is to help elect Republicans who are chosen by the Primary electorate.  The Chairman does not set policy, does not cast votes in the legislature, does not cast votes in Congress, does not tell the Governor which bills to veto, etc.  Elected officials are accountable to the people, not the party leadership.  People have some abscure idea that if we elect a "Real Conservative" as State Party Chairman that we will somehow change policy.  That is ludicris because a party chairman has now power to set policy.  His or her goal is, or at least should be, only to elect Republicans to office.  Activists who want more conservatives in office should work in primaries to nominate more conservative candidates for office.  The State Party comes in after the primary to help elect those nominated beat Democrats in November.  Ron Weiser did an incredible job at this with a great assist from Bob Schostak.  They did not decide to not support a candidate because that candidate was more conservative or more liberal.  They invested in places where we had the best chance of victory and the results prove they did an incredible job.  All of this debate on here is fun, but counterproductive to the real goal of beating Democrats.
