Just a follow up to last week's post:
In today's Times Herald story (by Margaret Gibbons, ace-crackerjack reporter) Both Pierce and Rothstein give Gibbons their take on why they switched.
Pierce it seems, is tired of being a Republican...she says “Nothing disparaging against anyone or the party, but I just felt it was time.” After her bitter defeat vis a vis the endorsement last year, I'm surprised she waited this long.
Contrary to my previous report, Wendy Rothstein supposedly resigned both her committee seat and her solicitorship back in January.
Interesting article. I do have to question why Athan (at MCRC) told me a different story last week, though. Maybe he just guessed. Maybe he was told to give that answer."Rothstein said she has been thinking since January about switching her party registration in order to vote for U.S. Sen. Hillary Clinton as the Democratic presidential nominee.
“She is a very educated, very strong woman who would make a good president,” Rothstein explained.
To save the GOP from any embarrassment, Rothstein said she resigned as the GOP solicitor and as a Plymouth committeewoman in January while she mulled making the party switch." (Margaret Gibbons, Times Herald)
I can't wait for May 8th.
