On Wednesday, March 18, 2008, the Montgomery County Republican Committee became, for the first time in history, a bi-partisan organization.
MCRC solicitor, Wendy Rothstein, changed her registration on that date from Republican to democrat. In simpler terms:
The Solicitor of record for the Montgomery County Republican Committee is a democrat!
Rothstein, a committeewoman from Plymouth Ward 2-1, decided not to run for another term in 2008. I have not been able to confirm whether or not she has actually resigned from her committee seat, but have it on good authority that she has, in fact, done so.
As far as Ms. Rothstein stepping down as MCRC solicitor, she has yet to formally remove her self as solicitor, nor has Ken Davis asked for her resignation. According to MCRC Executive Director, Athan Koutsiouroumbas, although Ms. Rothstein has asked that her role as solicitor be minimized, she has yet to offer a letter of resignation to the chairman (as a result of her change of registration to democrat).
There is also a rumor (unconfirmed) that Norristown Municipal Chairwoman and former Register of Wills, Frances Pierce, has also switched her registration to democrat. Your humble blogmeister is currently looking into this matter and will update this post when it is either confirmed or denied.
Note to Ken: Have Ms. Rothstein and/or Ms. Pierce resigned, formally, from their respective positions with MCRC (solicitor and municipal chair, respectively)? If not, is this supposed to be a big secret, or is it just that you aren't as on top of things as you'd want us to believe?
It look like this is just two more things to add to the list of maladies that plague the Montgomery County Republican Committee and it's current leadership.
This committeman just cannot wait for May 8th.

Pierce has been a democrat by heart. SHe has done nothing but mooch taxpayers dollars and referee in the other colt PIAA. Maybe her husband will give up his republican job.
They both need to be removed as committee members. We don't want them at the polls this spring pushing the Dem agenda.
What most genuine conservative voters who live in the southeast part of the state don't realize is that the party machines that pick their candidates are run not by "moderates" but democrats looking for political patronage jobs. Now that the registration numbers favor the democrats, more will start to switch.
(1) RE: the King James hello. Who cares? He's so not important any longer. It's just an example of initimidation, or a laughable attempt. The heat seeking eyes were supposed to read your soul, Bill (LOL)
(2) Republican women are changing their party affiliation because they are sick of the status quo caveman mentalityin Montco and elsewhere.
AND NO, these women should not remain as Dems on a Repub committee, but you shouldn't castigate any woman for exhibiting free will. If they are silly enough to go to the dark side, bid them bon voyage and be done with it.
(3) What do you think of Republican female candidates who take offers of support from pro life groups in this state? Isn't THAT a true big bag of wrong?
I am confused. How can a Democrat work for the Republican Committee? I dont think the question is should they resign - they should be REMOVED. Immediately.
But then again... what do we know, we are only naieve simple minded committee people who worked endlessly for the party, just to have it given away.
So does this mean the money we pay for MCRC events goes to pay a democrat?
Rothstein. Kind of says it all.
Like the fallacy that Traci Specter is actually a Republican.
This is the problem with the MCRC, it has been run by Democrats for the last 20 years or so...
You get what you vote for folks.
WAKE UP!!!!
Bill - there is truth to pro choice reference (or pro life ) above - see:
