Tucked away in the front section of yesterday's OC Register, I saw a small news item that two very rich Orange County Republicans have stepped forward to bail the California Republican Party out of its dire financial straights.
Kudos to Paul Folino and and Larry Dodge for stepping up the plate and wiping the financial slate clean for the CRP. Now let's hope the CRP leadership make the most of this remarkable opportunity.

Not likely.

Nice for the CRP, but this is not the first time the party has been in dire financial straits. What happened to good old fashioned fundraising? Rather than build a team that can generate money, I'm guessing they'll get out of this hole and dig an even deeper one. Make me long for the days of del Junco.

What is this world coming to? Now Mike Spence has nothing to complain about. Awwww.

Nice how Ron Nehring tried to take credit for this when he had nothing to do with it. This is an Aronld Shop deal. Nehring has yet to prove he can put serious money together. Hey Ron, grab a fiddle, the CRP is burning.

Maybe Ron needs to hire more immigrants to save his dying party?

Hmmm. A new ED who hails from the OC and two OC millionaires. It does not take a rocket scientist to figure how this one works. Now that the blood letting has stopped and the CRP finances are seemingly in order, can we finally get on to business and not the in-house food fight with one another? Enough is enough.

I guess we can get on to business when the bills are paid. It is my understanding that we are still in the red just with the day to day expenses.
If Bill is responsible for the recent commitments, then he gets my vote for Chairman.
