AA GOP Central Committee: The Big Move

Well, you can forget about the big Central Committee meeting on Wednesday being on 15 West Street:

The rift among county Republicans is expected to erupt next week, and the GOP expects so many spectators at its meeting that the event has been moved to a larger room.

Rumors and e-mails have been circulating for weeks that the tectonic plates within the county's Republican Central Committee are about to collide. And some board members are expected to oust chairman Mike Collins at the group's next meeting.

A coalition of the committee's ultra-conservative and liberal-leaning Republicans has reportedly conspired to call Mr. Collins' leadership into question at a meeting scheduled for 7 p.m. Wednesday at the Lowe House Office Building in Annapolis.

Why we're reading about this in The Capital as opposed to finding out about it from anybody connected to the party I will leave to your imagination....
