RICHMOND, Va. (AP) - Virginia Republicans, shaken by an eavesdropping scandal that forced the chairman and executive director to resign, Saturday chose their first female party leader, the daughter of a former U.S. Senate nominee who died in a 1978 place crash.

Longtime party activist Kate Obenshain Griffin, 34, was elected party chairwoman on an unanimous voice vote by the state GOP's governing Central Committee.

"There is no question we as a party have done much to be proud of over the past decade, but there is also no question that individuals veered off course here in this building," Griffin told the committee. "Mistakes were made and people within the party suffered, but we will not become paralyzed by these challenges."

Griffin, a mother of four who has never held a state party office, is the first woman to head the state GOP. All 140 seats in the state's Republican-dominated General Assembly are up for election Nov. 4.

1. so it's payback time to the Kay Griffin family

2. Denny Hastert in a skirt

"Griffin, a mother of four who has never held a state party office..."

They hade to frind someone who wasn't covered in mud...and that ain't easy since the Confederate Broederbund got back in charge.

It has nothing to do with gender, what is most telling is that ol' Kay was never a Bushevik before, so she gives them perfect cover and is clueless to boot.

Sort of like Denny Hastert...

Wonder who her Tom DeLay is?

3. Now that Warner is getting married again...maybe more sex will

grow him a heart and a brain...better yet..maybe he will retire to spend more time with the little woman...

She will fit right in with the rest of the clueless...no tax..do nothing fools.
