State GOP spokesman Brian Hughes confirms that chairman Dave Bitner this afternoon will hold a conference call with the party's executive committee to discuss rumors and speculation about his health and status as chairman.
Hughes didn't say so, but this could be the first step toward a resignation by Bitner, who has been diagnosed with ALS, often called Lou Gehrig's disease. If he steps down, it would likely be just after the Presidency 5 straw poll/convention Sept. 24. There could be an election for him as soon as Sep. 25

Why would anyone ever be jealous of Javier?

Maybe because as CPAC blogger of the year, he is more sucessful than the piddly little also-ran bloggers who trash him?

Peter Schorsch is the biggest self-promoting loser in the state of Fla. It is obvious his little man complex is coming out and he is jealous of Javier. I also suspect Schorsch is behind the avoidJavier...website. Funny how people with all the baggage in their closet (Peter) are so quick to shame others.

Like allways everything is kept under control for the benefit of the local political agenda and the consumers, citizens and patients are not considered.
