I am not sure if anyone outside Minnestoa is following the spectacular impolosion of our state GOP [View all]

The Chair resigned, they are millions of dollars in debt including unpaid money for the Governor's recount. Two people who were favored for the Chair were eliminated by silly misconduct and the

Four other high ranking GOP party people also resigned their posts.

Senate Majority Amy Koch, leader resigned after pressure from colleagues concerning an "inappropriate conduct with a staffer" She may or may not be resigning her seat. No sex was mentioned. I am not sure what other kind of inappropriate relationship there could be. One of her staffers was fired publicly and it is speculated that is the other party..

I am not sure if it is a purge, a coup or natural selection but I am all for anything that disrupts the GOP especially coming from within. I think this is a great Christmas present.
