Last month, the chair of the Washington State Republican Party, Kirby Wilbur, unexpectedly resigned to take a job in D.C. with a conservative group. And so this coming Saturday, the members of the WSRP's state committee will meet in Spokane to elect Kirby's replacement.

There are five candidates seeking to replace Wilbur, with four being somewhat legitimate. The Seattle Times published a story on Monday about the contenders, most of whom seem to ascribe at least part of the Washington State Republican Party's lack of success in winning statewide elections to the fact that their candidates just aren't conservative enough.

It's too soon to say what the members of the state committee will end up doing. But as I explain below the fold (with a chart!), anyone hoping continued misfortune for the Washington GOP should cross their fingers for a conservative victory in Spokane.

My dog Jambi is an eight-year-old pug who enjoys long naps, ham, and a good belly rub. In addition, he is more qualified to be Vice President than Sarah Palin, John McCain's pick to be the Republican Vice Presidential nominee.

Let me explain below the fold.
