How many strikes until you’re out?  Despite repeated failures, state GOP chairman Dick Wadhams has announced he will seek a third term.  Many Republicans now are left wondering if they can withstand the continual slide left Colorado has seen under his leadership.  Since Wadhams took the helm of Colorado’s Republican Party in 2007, the state [...]

Earlier this week we took note of the Weld County GOP’s efforts to force its members to tow the party line.  While certainly troubling, they aren’t the only GOP group to take this type of action.  The Jefferson County GOP apparently goes so far as to forbid its members from contributing to non-Republican candidates.
