New State GOP Chair Elected

Interesting doings over in Republithug land. After the resignation of Chair Eileen Melvin the state GOP has elected Cambria County Chair Robert Gleason as their new Chair. According to the Pittsburgh Tribune Review the vote was held via conference call.

According to the Allentown Morning Call (hat tip to GrassrootsPA) Gubernatorial candidate Lynn Swann flexed his political muscles and blocked his primary opponent Bill Scranton Jr. from the position. Nice to see the GOP has its infighting too.
