Direction at RPV

Our friend Mason Conservative has a scathing post on RPV Chair Kate Griffin. He points to continued losses in NOVA as well as a general loss of direction and leadership in the party as grounds for her removal.

On my preceding post, a few people have made arguements that she should be axed as well (although they may be democrats for all I know).

I have often wondered what effect these recent elections will have on Kate. I don't think she can be directly to blame for most of the losses (she didnt tell George to say macaca); but politicos usually want a scalp when they lose.

I was just wondering what everyone's feelings on this topic are; b/c this is important. Getting our party on the right track is key to keeping it red in 2008 and beyond. The RPV chair will be one of the main players in whether that happens or not.

UPDATE: I have heard a rumor that a majority of the district chairs will be opposing Kate for party chair (and this nothing more than a rumor at this point). I must admit these same rumors were present last year, so it may not be correct. James Atticus Bowen makes a great point that the State Central Committee and the other party leaders will make the decision on whether Kate stays or goes, not the grassroots people like us bloggers. That being the case, if this rumor is true I would say the situation gets much more complicated.

UPDATE2: Bearing Drift has some thoughts up here.
