A truly strange response to a bit of good fortune...

The Republican Party has been saying that it wants to reach out to minority voters.  So here is a most fortuitous opportunity.  A minority woman, who is a former Miss America and a Harvard law school graduate, and is also a conservative.. says that she wants to run as a Republican candidate for the US House of Representatives 13th District of Illinois.  If I were the party chair from her district I would be jumping up and down celebrating.  Ok maybe not quite celebrating...the seat is currently held by a Republican but it is a swing district and the Ds are targeting it for the next election.  Still I would be trying to nurture this candidate perhaps not for this seat and this race but for the future.  But I guess that is where Montgomery County GOP Chairman Jim Allen I differ.  Here is his exact response...

"Rodney Davis will win and the love child of the D.N.C. will be back in S—cago by May of 2014 working for some law firm that needs to meet their quota for minority hires.  The truth is Nancy Pelosi and the DEMOCRAT party want this seat. So they called RINO Timmy Johnson to be their pack mule and get little queen to run.  Ann Callis gets a free ride through a primary and Rodney Davis has a battle.  The little queen touts her abstinence and she won the crown because she got bullied in school,,,boohoo..kids are cruel, life sucks and you move on..Now, miss queen is being used like a street walker and her pimps are the DEMOCRAT PARTY and RINO REPUBLICANS…These pimps want something they can’t get,,, the seat held by a conservative REPUBLICAN  Rodney Davis and Nancy Pelosi can’t stand it...Little Queenie and Nancy Pelosi have so much in common but the one thing that stands out the most.. both are FORMER QUEENS, their crowns are tarnished and time has run out on the both of them..”"

Apparently that strategy didn't work so well as Jim Allen has resigned as Montgomery County Chair.  Well if they need someone who is a bit more strategically savvy...I am available.  lllinois 13 is on the southwest side of the city of Chicago.  Btw her name is Erika Harold
