I know some stuff about how the McIntosh campaign was run and it was dreadful. I saw a lot of stuff as a volunteer that even I, as a rank amateur, thought was really bad.
Also, I found it amazing that the state party was not better coordinated with both the McIntosh and Bush campaigns.
In a word, "Yeah."
Those of us that are in the loop enough to know what is going on but too far out of the loop to do anything about it have been beating our heads against the wall about this issue for several years. The leadership has got to change, and I think the "coup" that was rumored to have nearly taken place in the Senate on organization day is a pretty good start. I honestly think this is the last go-round for the higher ups, because people are really starting to get antsy, and there are some jobs on the hot seat in the Party.
