I tend to believe the insurgent Tea Party faction on this one: “Local Tea Party leaders dismiss Young’s assertion that McConnell was the chief reason for his loss and argue the ouster was more about an attempt to change the group’s by-laws.”

Me too,the one I’ve been involved with does not endorse.

Also, for a Young Republican leader, blaming his reelection loss on the Tea Party and his support for McConnell is a lot less painful than admitting that he miscalculated his political strength in the organization and was rejected by his members for an ill-chosen bylaws change.

Sorry for the shot. I came in late to the party, which I realized too late to keep quite myself.
;o)

[Political Junkie Too]

Not a problem. I earned it!
