That having been said, I would agree that the notion of a Spring Gala was probably not such a hot idea. Hindsight is always 20/20. But it was a new idea, an effort to do more. Are we now going to condemn every one who steps forward to lead for every new but failed idea to build the party? Oops! Yeah, I guess here, we are. As for attendance, 88 out of 155 current members is not at all unusual, from an historical perspective. Anyone who says otherwise is either ignorant or a liar. It is no more or less than usually attend any meeting, particularly since attendance requirements --- one meeting out of three, per the State Party Plan --- are so lax.

He loves the limelight, even if it's negative.He has a love affair with himself, and can do no wrong....... According to him. Everything Kopko has done for the GOP has been to HIS benefit and no one elses. He doesn't care who is hurt in his antic's as long as his name is out there. His interest in the Republican party is only what it can do for him, not what he can do to help the Party. Get rid of him as the Chairman of the PWCGOP Chairman!!! Kopko is too ALL important.

There is no question that if Kopko tries to sweep the 51st convention under the rug, and the Committee fails to take action that our Republican candidates will lose volunteers and votes by abstention. Bearing in mind some loss to Independent votes, the “anybody but” factor, nonparticipation, lower voter turn out than in last years special election, and the GOP’s closest to Kopko are in trouble. Just look at the VPAP reports, I'd say they are already feeling the pinch. After the appeal process ends, the litmus test with GOP voters will be based on how the Committee responds.

It will be subject to the same sort of delegate pre-filings, credentials process and election as you'd expect from any convention, and will probably look and feel a lot like we've seen from other conventions over the past year. It will take massive numbers to unseat him. At the conclusion of Kopko’s term, which should be sometime around next March, there will be a convention which will select the next chairman.

The One, being Kopko, that appears to be intentionally delaying Julie's appeal. Kopko seems to have a pattern when trying to work with women. Karen Ulrich walked away a quarter of the way into his term, Lucy claimed to be treated unfairly, and appears that he has conspired against Julie to remove her by prematurely giving Gil the Republican endorsement. I think Bryanna is right. Kopko needs to resign, or those Republican candidates closest to Kopko may be in big trouble this fall. Good for Julie for sticking with the Party!

I heard that the Membership Chair was one of several Executive Committee members that did take him to task in a closed session meeting regarding the 51st., but didn't have two thirds support to temporily remove him from office on a 30 suspension.

VERY SAD that Mr. Kopko is so selective in the website updates. He obviously has 2 watches, one watch that runs fast (declaring Faisal the winner) and one that is measured in dog years (hearing and acting on Hon. Lucas' appeal).
