Congrats Caleb.

The Hawkeye ‘Stang is back in the parking lot on East 9th.

TRS just got the call from Ames. The State Central Committee just voted to confirm Caleb Hunter as our new Executive Director.

Caleb was the RPI Political Director during the 05-06 cycle. Since leaving the Party, Caleb worked as the Communications Director for Secretary of Agriculture Bill Northey and in the private sector at Lincoln Strategies.

Thank you Republican Party of Iowa. Republicans now have Stewart Iversen and Caleb Hunter back in the office. Be ready for another year of losses. When will you ever learn?!!

Hey does JoSporer have a silver tooth or is it grill?

Anyway I like it. I just want to know why did you crop W and Laura out of the photo?

Sporer, you have finally found the elusive blonde with the gold tooth. It was nice of your daughter to pose with you for the picture.

Go Caleb go!

Grant forgot the last part of his cheer, that being "away... back to Lincoln Strategies, where you can only do so much damage."

Oh Anon 8:20, I loves myself some snaky bloggers. Very clever.

I do not claim to be the smartest guy in the biz (now since retired)... But I do know this, Caleb is solid.

If there's anyone who can get 'er done for RPI... It's Caleb.

WAR the pitcher is half full!

Yep, he'll get it done just like he did last time he was there... oh wait, that didn't go so well.

There is no doubt that Caleb is a good guy, but the reason he is the new ED is because he is the guy Rants & Co feel comfortable with. He isn’t going to stand up and say no to anything, he’s going to go along to get along.

I didn't know you were Jewish, Sporer. I'll be damned. Shalom, slick!

I didn't mean nothing by it, Ace. It looks like in the picture that you are standing in front of a menorah. Jesus (and we know that cat was a Jew), Ted stop being so sensative. Thicken up your skin a little, baby, come on!

rants has 0 to do w/ party leadership and/or the hiring of the excutive diretor.

Rants does have a huge part in party leadership when he's tight with Stu, which he is given that they both benefited greatly from the Romney campaign (i.e.$$$).

Don't be so naive. Rants, Gentry, Stu: they're all tied together through their Romney connections. And Caleb will do their bidding, no questions asked.

Just like in the 2006 cycle.

Ace? Hee, hee.

Not sensitive nor insulted, merely amused that someone said it three times in one week, particularly funny since the last guy who said actually was trying to insult me, and failing most miserably.

So some of you are finally seeing the pattern here -- Stu, Rants, and the whole crew. You've all seen this picture before and it didn't receive any Oscars for their performance. Only jeers, but what do I know, I'm only a voter. The inexperience and losses will now take its toll. Our party is going to have to hit rock bottom before anyone starts to understand. But then again, I thought we hit that and here we are banging our heads against that same wall. Ignorance just doesn't get it.
