Top 5 Targeted State Chairmen

As CR infighting rages (business as usual for some folks in this organization), we thought it would be helpful to break down what our sources have told us... here are the Top 5 most targeted State Chairmen:

1. Eliza Vielma, Texas – once the darling socialite of the insurgency, Eliza’s actions during the Southern Caucus elections were viewed as a personal betrayal by insurgent leaders. Led by Blake Harris, the insurgency is actively working to overthrow Eliza. Texas is a big state, and various elements unhappy with the TFCR provide ready and willing allies. After Eliza’s resolution calling for “more transparency from the CRNC” (we still don’t know what that means), her stock was on the rise among the insurgency. However, now it seems that Ms. Vielma is looking over her shoulder.
2. Michael Patlan, Oklahoma – the latest in Oklahoma’s pro-Gourley dynasty, Patlan has been silent in national CR politics since becoming state chairman. However, his Half Truth Caucus blog last summer has earned him plenty of long-lasting animosity. Despite Patlan’s overwhelming election, bitter in-state rival Joe Bosley remains active with the insurgency in an effort to remove Patlan.
3. Scott Wacholtz, Florida – Scott, long Tom Jardon’s faithful lieutenant, has reportedly been unhappy with the federation he inherited. Jardon spent so much time having his ego stroked for “leading” the insurgency that he forgot to run his federation (this may soon officially be named Blake Harris Syndrome). Wacholtz has upset pro-Jardon elements of the insurgency, both in and out of state, and may find himself in trouble soon.
4. Erin McTiernan, New York – The Empire State has a long history of infighting, disunity, and State Chairman head-hunting. Erin’s controversial campaign did nothing to bury these deep-seeded divisions, and her treatise against the Gourley administration did not win her any friends, Establishment or Insurgency. Both sides viewed her moves as childish, and her in-state battles will most likely occupy much of her time in the future.
5. Mason Harrison, California??? – Yeah, we know. We can’t believe it either! We have done a lot of fact-checking on this one, but the story seems to hold up. We won’t reveal specifics (mainly because we would laugh for hours if the birthplace of the insurgency split), but lets just say that elements at the University of Southern California are unhappy with the current CCR administration. Apparently, too much focus has been given to the website and National CR politics… sound familiar? To be honest, we actually think California has done a decent job over the years (way better than the other insurgency states).
