GOPer Sue Lowden Declares For 2010 Senate Race Against Reid

Probably the best predictor of a person’s future actions is their record. In my opinion, Sue Lowden’s record is dismal, especially during the past two years when she was chairperson of the Nevada Republican Party. Based on her record, I believe that she does not have the qualities necessary to be an responsible senator. It is entirely possible that if elected she might soon become mired in controversy as she was last year in the state convention.

The main problem that I have with Sue Lowden is that in April of 2008, her actions in disrupting an election at the state convention undermined one of the most important institutions of our form of government. It was an action that is more commonly seen among South American dictatorships than something that happens in the American political landscape. I will give some background to that sordid event and describe what really happened based on what can be documented from reliable sources and my personal observations. There is plenty of documentation. In discussing this history, I am not dwelling on the past nor am I bitter that John McCain got the nomination. I am concerned about what last year’s events show about Sue Lowden and her potential as a senator. In my opinion, her actions were so lawless and so improper as to suggest that she will be a danger to our form of government if she is elected to the senate. In addition to being improper, I believe that her actions show very little political ability. A good political leader would have attempted to work with all factions and not alienate a significant fraction of the party. I am quite sure that her actions led to the defeat of Bob Beers and Joe Heck. That can be seen in the final results of the election where the margin of loss was less than the percentage of Republican voters expected to be angered by the abrupt ending of the election at the convention.
