Minnesota GOP in deep kimche

I'm sure that it's been mentioned before that the Party of Personal Responsibility and Family Values in Minnesota is in trouble - deep trouble, it seems.

Today's Minneapolis Star-Tribune has an opinion piece written by a Republican activist and former candidate for Party chair that illustrates just how bad it is. The party is broke (from the sound of it - flat broke). They're being evicted from their St. Paul headquarters building for non-payment of rent. A sex scandal involving the Senate Majority Leader and the Party deputy chairman has put the party in a bad light.

Now, it seems, there is some concern that Ron Paul activists may "hijack" the Minnesota GOP delegation to the Republican Nation Convention.

It's going to get interesting around here, no doubt about it.

Anyway, the story at the above link is worth a read (at least I think so).

Only the largesse of their sugar daddies keeps them functional.

He's cleaning out all the fast food wrappers and empty Mountain Dew bottles right now.
