The End is near for King Ron!

Looks like the grassroots are finally going to rise up in MN and take back our party.
Here is an interesting link to what happened at the CD 4/5 convention.
The part that got my interest,
The interesting thing for me as an observer is the acute blame the party at this grassroots level accords to the State functionaries. Ron Eibensteiner is State Chairman and he is not appreciated in his role. Blame for disappointing losses last November to the DFL are not shrugged off as a reality of city political life, but are attributed to a disconnected leadership. Mr. Eibensteiner was in attendance, as were his opponents. They all gave speeches during the proceedings, asking for support when that office goes up for election this summer, I believe. Ron has very, very little support at this level and I do not see much chance that he will be reelected as State Chair. From where I sit it looks like the new Chair will be Bill Pulkrabek. He knows which side the toast is buttered on and talked an emphasis on grassroots politics.
I will lay out in the next few weeks my case for change and why Ron should not be chair.
But I think there is a statewide trend for change.
Stay tuned.
