At our Annual Meeting (May 28th) our Charter requires the election of all officers of the PCRC for a one year term. At our last meeting John Cafferty was appointed Chairman of the Nominating Committee.
He has chosen three others to assist him, Karen Barry, Steve Bois and Jeanie Falcone.
They have asked to send out an appeal to all members to contact them if they have an interest in serving as one of the PCRC Officers or would like to recommend an individual for consideration.
Anyone who is not currently a member but is interested in serving as an Officer in the PCRC must become a member of the PCRC. This can be done by the Treasurer receiving their dues prior to being nominated.
If you would like to become an Officer or want to recommend someone please contact John at jcafferty@comcast.net or one of the other members of his Nominating Committee.

While many had written former MA Governor Mitt Romney's chances off leading into the Michigan Presidential Primary, he won the State last night. Romney finished with 39 percent of the vote, well ahead of McCain with 30 percent, and Mike Huckabee with 16 percent. Ron Paul ended up in fourth with 6 percent, Fred Thompson in fifth with 4 percent, and Rudy Giuliani in sixth with 3 percent.
With the New Hampshire primary results coming in, and in combination with the earlier caucuses in Iowa and Wisconsin, a clearer picture is emerging of the race for the GOP selection as nominee for President.
* Rudy Giuliani has not really campaigned in any of the first three, and has not challenged for any of the wins.
* Mike Huckabee, with a strong performance in Iowa, had a respectable (but distant) third-place finish in New Hampshire.
* John McCain followed up a couple of weak perfomances with a strong showing in the Granite State, where he appears to have a 5-6% point win.
* Former MA Governer Mitt Romney, after a win in Wyoming, now has two second-place finishes in Iowa and New Hampshire.
Barring something dramatic, other candidates could be soon withdrawing from the race. With 1191 delegates (of 2390) needed for nomination, the current ranking is:
Romney 29; Huckabee 20; McCain 9; Thompson 6; Paul 2; Giuliani 1; Hunter 1.

Capturing more than 31% of the votes cast, Mitt Romney easily won the first Republican Party Straw Poll yesterday. Mitt's vote count nearly equaled that of the 2nd (Mike Huckabee) and 3rd (Sam Brownback) combined. In 8th place was Rudy Giuliani, and 10th place was John McCain.
As the summer winds down into fall 2007, political activity should begin to pick up as candidates for election in November 2008 start to organize and create their organizations. In Massachusetts, hopefully the new State Party leadership can help direct a course to more success and new Republicans elected.
Dear Friends:
We have the distinguished honor of being on the committee to raise $5,000,000 for a monument of Bill Clinton. We originally wanted to put him on Mt. Rushmore until we discovered there was not enough room for two more faces. We then decided to erect a statue of Bill Clinton in the Washington D.C. Hall Of Fame.
We are having a bit of difficulty as to where the statue should be placed. It was not proper to place it beside the statue of George Washington, who never told a lie, or beside Jesse Jackson, who never told the truth, since Bill Clinton could never tell the difference.
We finally decided to place it beside Christopher Columbus, the greatest Democrat of them all. He left not knowing where he was going, and when he got there he did not know where he was. He returned not knowing where he had been, and did it all on someone else's money. If you are one of the fortunate people who has anything left after taxes, we expect a generous contribution to this worthwhile project.
Thank you.
Bill Clinton Monument Committee
P.S. The Committee has raised $1.35 so far.
P.P.S And another thing . . . . . let me get this straight. Bill Clinton is getting $12 Million for his memoirs. His wife Hillary got $8 million for hers. That's $20 million for memories from two people who for eight years repeatedly testified, under oath, that they couldn't remember anything.
