Bid to oust Fletcher critic fails.

A bid to oust Jack Richardson IV, the Jefferson County GOP chair and outspoken Fletcher critic, who called the Gov. "politically inept" and asked for him to abandon his re-election efforts, failed yesterday. Instead two of the members who wanted to vote to oust Richardson were themselves ousted. Read it here and here. This follows, in recent memory, the failed Darrell Brock ouster and the failed bid to place Larry Forgy on the state GOP governing board. Ruth Ann Cox, Steve Pence's wife and an EXCELLENT KY second lady, was also elected to the executive committee.
