Oops.

Bummer. It looks like my friend Ann Wagner, a true conservative despite those horrible immigration rumors, is done. If Reince “Lets execute Obama” Priebus wins, the RNC is in big trouble.

Ann Wagner drops. So sad. We do love her in Missouri.

Round 7:
3 candidates left
One RINO CINO- an Obamacare lobbyist and “former” abortion supporter
One Who is Steele-lite.
One who is conservative choice- Anuzi.

Round 8:
The speaker just sent everyone to break again and then realized they had to count the votes first.
Oops… Again.

Reince “Let’s Execute Obama” Priebus Wins!
Priebus 97
Anuzi 47
Cino 28
Nice work, RNC.
