“Republican Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger hasn’t raised a finger to help the state party run by Ron Nehring.”
Schwarzenegger is to the CA-GOP as Pataki was to the NY-GOP - an organizational disaster.
Same goes for Romney in Massachusetts. By the time he got done with his short four-year term, there were more Green Party candidates on statewide ballots than Republicans. No kidding.
"The Massachusetts Republican Party died last Tuesday. The cause of death: failed leadership. The party is survived by a few leftover legislators and a handful of county officials and grassroots activists who have been ignored for years. Services will be public and a mass exodus of taxpayers will follow. In lieu of flowers, send messages to New Hampshire Republican voters warning them about a certain presidential candidate named Romney." - - Boston Herald, 11/12/2006
