I'm tired of the nuts, says Colorado GOP chairman

[^_^ 5,021]

####### Wadhams on Monday unexpectedly dropped his bid for re-election as chair of the Colorado Republican Party, warning GOP leaders that their chances in 2012 could be "severely undermined" by a strategy aimed solely at uniting conservatives.

Wadhams said he had the votes to land a third term but in the past few days got to thinking, "What happens after I win?"

"I have loved being chairman, but I'm tired of the nuts who have no grasp of what the state party's role is," he said.

...

"I have tired of those who are obsessed with seeing conspiracies around every corner and who have terribly misguided notions of what the role of the state party is while saying 'uniting conservatives' is all that is needed to win competitive races across the state," Wadhams wrote.

...

Wadhams ... [questioned] the wisdom of the "authentic conservative leadership" strategy.

"The ability of Colorado Republicans to win and retain the votes of hundreds of thousands of unaffiliated swing voters in 2012 will be severely undermined," he said.
