Robin Smith Tells You Where You Can File That Caucus Vote

By Kleinheider Posted on March 11, 2009 at 12:17 pm

The TNGOP chair that threw Rep. Kent Williams out of the Republican Party reacts to the vote of the state House GOP caucus confirming Williams as a member of that caucus:

From the party perspective, she said, “Kent Williams became the Democratic nominee on Jan.13″ and “bargained away” his right to be considered a Republican.

Smith said she had not discussed the matter with Mumpower. She questioned whether Williams’ membership in the caucus would include support for re-election, given the caucus traditionally focuses on re-election of incumbent members.

On that point, Mumpower was reasonably clear. The answer is no.

“We will support every Republican nominee on the ballot,” he said. “You interpret that how you want.”

    Sounds like Mumpower told Smith to shove it.

    How can Mumps say no if the caucus hasn’t voted on it? How is he going to keep his leadership if they vote to support Kent and he goes against them?

    so, does continuing the drama help make anyone really care?

    I am in serious disagreement with Robin Smith, but your headline is not fair.
