The Margin Of Williams Caucus Victory

By Kleinheider Posted on March 11, 2009 at 1:16 pm

The vote to affirm Speaker Kent Williams as a member of the state House GOP caucus wasn’t close:

But House Republican Caucus Chairman Glen Casada said a poll of the membership on Monday night revealed that an “overwhelming majority” of House Republicans preferred to keep Williams as a member.

“I was surprised a little bit,” said Casada, of Franklin. “But I think in the membership’s mind this is a way to demonstrate that we are moving on and that we are going to solve the problems of unemployment and the budgets shortfall.

Casada said the reason the decision had not been made public previously is because it was considered an internal issue.

“It’s almost a non-issue,” he said. “He’s in, now let’s quit talking about it and move on.”

    Shows again that Williams is better at counting votes than Mumpower.

    So when is Beth Harwell going to make a power play?

    It also gave the House Republican Caucus time to consider what a dumb**s Casada is.

    Drew, when is Beth Harwell going to do anything beyond just talking about doing something? How many times has been been “considering” running for something, doing something, moving toward something, and then not done it? I have lost count. Ity’s time we all realized that all beth Harwell does is think about it, get someone to mention it in the press, and then not do it. From seeking a leadership post to running for Congress or for Governor, she is never going to actually take that leap.

    TennRod,

    You may be right but I think the caucus smells blood and Mumps may be in trouble, and not with Nicole.
