May whoever emerges as our next Chairman lead us to a bigger, better, and more prosperous party of conservative principle put into political practice. After these years of Governor Patrick & President Obama, God knows we need a strong Republican alternative now through 2014 and beyond!
Lost US Senate seat. Lost US Congressional seat. Lost total net seats in state House of Representatives.\
Totally AWOL as a spokesperson for our party in print, TV, radio or social media.
You've never even used the premier network of real time political communication: Twitter. "@BobMaginn hasn't tweeted yet"

As National Committeewoman, Kerry serves until the adjournment of the 2016 Republican National Convention.
Kerry's being a surrogate for Romney had absolutely no influence upon me or my understanding when she was elected to the position of National Committeewoman. She has several years left of her term and she can certainly continue her service. If she chooses to do otherwise then we'll cross that bridge when we come to it and elect a worthy successor.
Education: I was born smart, but made the decision to build upon my innate sense of brilliance by working toward my high school diploma. And though 9th grade proved to be the hardest 4 years of my life I consider it a victory to have walked the podium and been handed the ribbon wrapped parchment from Athol High School. Though I now live in Littleton, down deep I am every bit an Athol kind of guy!
Experience: Served 20 years in the Army and rose to the astonishing military heights of 'Private First Class'. Never in my 2 decades of service to our country did a potato get past me with a single bruise or blemish. They still write about me as 'old steady hands' in the latrines across this great land.
In private enterprise there are many that have achieved greater wealth, but few that have requested it more than I. On numerous occasions I blasted, like a rocket ship, straight through the minimum wage ceiling and onto greater economic plains. But I did not let my fortune distract me from my professional duties. Sadly my boss saw things differently. In 2010 I lost my job. Actually I didn't lose it, because I know exactly where it is! It's just that someone else is doing it now!
Nevertheless, I learned great things over the many years of my life that will prove valuable in my leadership of the state Republican Party. And my favorite 10 success factors are:
1. Never hit a man in anger, unless you are absolutely sure you can get away with it.
2. Most people are lazy, but they can be enticed by large amounts of sugary foods. Always keep a box of Devil Dogs nearby. Obesity is their weakness - use it against them!
3. Women are not equal to men. And though they smell nice once in a while it is all part of their plan to take advantage of the system. Diminish their self respect by ogling them at every chance...
4. When someone starts getting good at their job - fire them! They will soon expect to take yours if you don't. I have never actually managed people before, but this is what I am told.
5. Foul language is a perfect ice-breaker when meeting new people. Never hesitate to drop a raunchy F-bomb laden joke around a possible new client, or her husband.
6. Remind people of how unimportant they are to the system and the company. Practice saying things like 'You're worthless and weak' or 'Don't ever let me catch you looking in my office' or my personal favorite...'Do you even work here?'. Saying those things is a sign of authority and power! Use it to crush people!
7. Throw things! Though it may sound overly simplistic, throwing things is a time honored tradition among Alpha-Males. Be sure to hit at least one person a week with a heavy object from afar. Of course, when the unsuspecting victim awakens you can pretend to be concerned and make a feigned attempt at helping them to their feet.
8. Lie. Lie like the wind!! Nothing you say today should be at all consistent with what you said yesterday. This forces people to take notes in order to try and catch you changing your position. Today you claim to be Ed from Marketing with a Masters Degree from Bentley College, and tomorrow you can claim to be Barney with an Engineering degree from Wentworth. If you get cornered resort to throwing things and dropping F-bombs...
9. Once in a while 'Play Dead'. When the boss comes to ask you to take on new responsibilities pretend you are dead. Lie on the floor and do not respond to any calls or pokes. This creates a huge sense of guilt at your passing, and when you are discovered to be alive they all are simply happy to see you standing up again. They definitely won't add anything to your work load.
10. Marry the boss's daughter. I don't care how much Hai-Karate or Binaca breath spray you use - just get the dumb ass to fall in love with you! This is crucial. Once you marry her you can 'screw up' like your working at a lightbulb factory, and nothing can hurt you. Good old 'Dad' will protect you from every goal-oriented corporate ladder monkey in town. In fact, Dad will give you the authority to stomp on their knuckles as they climb!
These key skills will all prove to be invaluable to me and my administration when I take over the Republican Party in Massachusetts.
A for my vision of the Party - 'Hope and Change' has worked nicely once or twice. Nobody seems to know what it means or how to measure it, but it sounds positive and it tends to lead knuckle-dragging mouth-breathing morons in the right direction. I may have to beef up the slogan a bit by using 'More HOPE and more more CHANGE'. The use of capital letters shows I am very serious about bringing it about. Of course I will put together a 10 point plan on how to achieve hope and change, Oops, I mean HOPE and CHANGE.
So, please consider my key skills and credentials when getting ready to cast a vote for the next Party Chairman. And even more so, remember Hope and Change. It is for the children, who are our future, who deserve a level playing field, with equal opportunity. Remember those children are from working class families, and they have been hammered over for years.
And if there is any question about my commitment here, just remember my personal slogan:
We're no strangers to love You know the rules and so do I A full commitment's what I'm thinking of You wouldn't get this from any other guy I just wanna tell you how I'm feeling Gotta make you understand Never gonna give you up, never gonna let you down Never gonna run around and desert you Never gonna make you cry, never gonna say goodbye Never gonna tell a lie and hurt you We've known each other for so long Your heart's been aching but you're too shy to say it Inside we both know what's been going on We know the game and we're gonna play it And if you ask me how I'm feeling Don't tell me you're too blind to see Never gonna give you up, never gonna let you down Never gonna run around and desert you Never gonna make you cry, never gonna say goodbye Never gonna tell a lie and hurt you
I just wanna tell you how I'm feeling Gotta make you understand
Never gonna give you up, never gonna let you down Never gonna run around and desert you Never gonna make you cry, never gonna say goodbye Never gonna tell a lie and hurt you
We've known each other for so long Your heart's been aching but you're too shy to say it Inside we both know what's been going on We know the game and we're gonna play it
And if you ask me how I'm feeling Don't tell me you're too blind to see
Nice move Brock! Very subtle indeed. I may have a place for you in my administration.... We are headed for a 'Fiscal Cliff' and the country just elected a dope whose motto is 'Forward'.
Perhaps I should've said "I won't preempt their announcements".
We could have 2 candidates & we could have 12 or more for all I know right now. However, I'm not going to live off of rumor nor will I deny someone their right to make their own announcements.

Arlington Town GOP chair Sean Harrington should be the next state chairman.
If the S.C. elects Sean Harrington we'd be scrod?????
Not a ringing endorsement there Pablo LOL....
Actually I like Sean Harrington. I don't know that he would run now. But maybe someday he'd be a very good Chairman.
If we want to think outside the box... a few years back a guy by the name of Bob Parks ran. He's pretty impressive. I think he splits his time between MA and Va. Here's a link to his site http://www.black-and-right.com/
I also would love to see someone like Rachel Kemp. She's a Regional Chair. And WOW can she articulate the Republican message of opportunity and upward mobility.
If Broc and I heard the same rumors, one of the people running I could wholeheartedly support.
Certainly not this:
2008 2nd Franklin District Christopher Donelan (D-Orange) 13,956 (79%) Robert Parks (R-Athol) 3,690 (21%)
He only ran behind John McCain by 10% or 2,200 votes.... (R)- Outside 495
I remember talking to Chairman Brian Cresta about who the new Exec. Director would be, and proposed a name. He shrugged and said that Jane Swift - not a member of the state committee - would just be choosing who she wanted.
Nothing has changed.
Maginn had virtually no experience in politics except as a donor. He was quickly led astray by those repressenting the 'important' races, to the point of abrogating the rights of those elected by the actual party voters.
This was not his fault, but ours for allowing that to happen.
He will now return to his vital and genuinely important work at Jenzebar. God bless his good heart. Yr. Obedient Servant, Peter Porcupine, Republican
