Can the Chairman be replaced?

I could be wrong on this one, but it looks to me like former Monmouth GOP Executive Director Dan Gallic will be announcing a procedural way to replace the chairman at our upcoming convention via Roberts Rules of Order.

While this may be a welcome development, be careful what you wish for, as what Dan is really after is his job back. That would only happen if Fred Niemann was to assume the chairmanship. There have been rumors for weeks that Fred wants the job back. Would this blogger prefer Fred over Adam? Honestly and ironically I would. Would I prefer someone else over the two of them? Absolutely.

As much as I like Jim Giannell, he's not the answer. Adam was elected because he was not in the midst of last years factional battle. Giannell and Fred were very much involved, and either one of them as chairman would leave us still divided. Not as divided and disillusioned as we are now, but divided never-the-less.

What we need is a leader who has the gravitas, maturity and respect of most Monmouth Republicans. Someone who can bring order to the chaos without thwarting debate. Someone like Marie Muhler, Steve Corodemus or Joe Oxley if he has the NUTS to take the job.
