Katon Dawson the Next GOP Darwin Award Nominee?

[Stingo]

The GOP is going into the last week or so before electing a new RNC Chair, and Katon Dawson of South Carolina is the candidate in the lead. He offers increased regionalism, experience with Whites Only policies, friendships with extremist Christian whack jobs, and policies that will send the GOP further into the wilderness of American politics.

Dawson seeking national party post; he calls club’s longtime practice ‘unacceptable’
By CLIF LeBLANC - [e-mail]

State GOP chairman Katon Dawson, who is campaigning to lead the national Republican Party organization, has resigned a 12-year membership in a whites-only Columbia country club ... The nearly 80-year-old Forest Lake Club — whose deed has a whites-only restriction — has no black members, said four club members. They asked not to be identified ... Dawson said he began working to change the club’s admissions practices in mid-August ... Dawson declined to provide a copy of his resignation letter ... http://www.thestate.com/local/story/531216.html

8. "Dawson declined to provide a copy of his resignation letter . . . "

Probably declined because it tells the folks that he'd rather stay at the all-white club.
