As you may recall, GOP Senate wannabe Gabriel Gomez just released his letter to Governor Patrick in which he sought the interim Senate appointment. In that letter, he said a bunch of stuff that is not possible to square with what he’s saying now. So, as I have already observed, he either tried to mislead Governor Patrick, or he’s misleading GOP primary voters now.
Apparently as a direct result of that, two thirds of the leadership of “Women for Gomez” – a group that Gomez touted on his website as “his first coalition group” – has quit. And the grassroots are pretty riled up about the whole situation, as well they might be. Here’s RMGer Term Limits on the resignation of Angela Davis and Rachel Kemp from the Gomez operation:
This is precisely how any legitimate Republican should respond in light of what has been learned. Now, could someone speak to the issue of the GOP heavy weights that trotted him around Washington and attempted to foist him on us? Who were/are they, and what have they to say now?
That’s a fair question, IMHO. And our own Porcupine chimes in:
The Gomez campaign began as a project of the brain trust that brought us Jim Ogonowski, who after sucking up all the RSCC money failed to get enough signatures to get onto the ballot.
I say no more.
Another eminently fair observation. When the party Pooh-Bahs decide who the candidate should be, they are almost unfailingly wrong. It took Dems a long time to learn that lesson. Apparently the GOP hasn’t got it either.

Rachel Kemp, was very optimistic about a GOP revival in January, when she told the Springfield Republican that “there are a lot of people out there who are Republicans and don’t even know it.”
It must have been a shock to learn she was supporting somebody who was a Democrat and didn’t even know it.
