Voepel Leaves GOP… Union Tribune Unclear on New Party Affiliation
Reading the Union Tribune I noted an article that said Santee Mayor Randy Voepel announced a couple days ago that he was leaving the GOP because the Republican Party wasn’t conservative enough.

** UPDATE ** Looks like RNC Chairman Steele Won’t Run Again
I think we’ve all watched Chairman Michael Steele with some degree of head shaking over the last couple of years. Instead of doing the job of party chairman quietly, raising money and recruiting candidates, he worked overtime to make himself the ‘face’ of the GOP, often with embarrassing results. Finally, donors were so disquieted by Steele that they basically pulled …

The New City Council President – It Can’t Be Worse, Can It?
So the new City Council has selected a new Council President: Tony Young. I had always assumed he was part of the union-beholden Democrat bloc on the City Council. But then the conservative Lincoln Club backed Young, a Democrat, in his re-election bid for City Council. Maybe this meant he was a bit to the left on social issues but …
