Washtenaw: GOP

The Detroit News reports on how tea party groups are affecting state politics: “At the Washtenaw County Republican Convention last week, tea party groups elected scores of their own members to delegate positions, freezing out Michigan Republican Party Chairman Ron Weiser, who ended up as an alternate. Some tea party supporters said Weiser was snubbed as a way to send a message. They say he wouldn’t attend any of their events – an allegation Weiser denied Wednesday.” [Source]
