Let's Rehash, Kenneth

The chairman of the Montgomery County Republican Committee pretty much doesn't care what you or I think.

First, if you haven't seen them, the green ballots are out there for approval.

Kenneth has placed himself on the green ballot as a write-in for Delegate to the Republican National Convention, essentially shutting out two Montgomery County committeewomen who circulated petitions and got them in on time.

From pawatercooler.com:

Perhaps the final move of Ken Davis’ tenure as GOP County Committee chairman is get himself on the ballot as a Delegate to the Republican National Convention from the Sixth Congressional District. In a pattern similar to his four years in office, there was some, for lack of a better term, “cock-up” with his petition paperwork*, and he did not make the ballot.

So he is mounting a write-in campaign, with his name being printed on the official “green sheet” ballots that committee people hand out at the polls.

Local committees are still mulling his placement, as the copies are being sent to the printers shortly. One committee person is printing their own ballots sans chairman.

* note: Recall that by Gov Rendell’s order there were three additional days to get petitions signed and delivered.

Disgraceful. Once again, Ken Davis does whatever he can to steal an election.

If that isn't bad enough, Kenneth isn't concerned about the registration loss (most of which happened over the first three years of his tenure) at all. In the Morning Call:

Ken Davis, Montgomery County Republican chairman, said the numbers don't concern him. Unlike the primary, when voters cannot cast ballots outside their party, fall voters are free to vote for anyone. He likes Republican John McCain's chances against Obama or Hillary Clinton.

''Even if people don't come back, they are still free to pick who they want in November,'' Davis said. ''This is an electorate that is used to ticket splitting. I think more people will make up their mind when one of the Democrats is the candidate.''

Not worried? ...The numbers don't concern him?

Lets do the math, shall we?

75,000+ registration gap loss over 4 years = 18,750 net registration lost per year.

18,750 loss (average) over 12 months = 1562.20 net loss per month, or about 1.75 persons lost per day to the democrats over the last four years,

Factor in that we’re (MCRC) broke, I can’t see how Ken could possibly “look back with pride to many accomplishments, both large and small”, that he declares in his letter of March 7th of this year.

If not for all of the political infighting caused by Ken Davis and his supporters, we may not be suffering the losses we have this past four years (Nero fiddled while Rome burned comes to mind). Ken has been the most uninspiring leader I have ever had the displeasure of serving under.

Ken Davis goes on to say in his March 7th letter that he may come back in the future…I say don’t do us any favors, Kenneth.

I can't wait until May 8th.
