Snowe challenger Dodge quits Republican Party saying he “has no faith” of fair primary

via Dirigo Blue

Andrew Ian Dodge, a Tea Party primary challenger to Sen. Olympia Snowe, unenrolled from the Maine Republican Party yesterday. In a brief interview this morning, Dodge explained his reasons:

I have no faith that the Maine Republicans can run a fair primary. The fact that Charlie Webster is still chair shows a complete disconnect between what Republican activists want and what the Party leadership does. I can no longer be part of a party that is either inept or corrupt.

Andrew Ian Dodge’s statement on the Maine 2012 Caucus & its incomplete result

 

February 12, 2012
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
SENATE CANDIDATE DODGE
on 2012 Maine Caucus
“”I would like to express my solidarity with those that feel the Maine Republican Party should
not have announced the result of the Presidential preference poll on Saturday. Considering there
were several towns that postponed their events due to weather the “result” was not a final one.
This doesn’t sit well with the “voter fraud” obsession of senior Republicans, including Maine
GOP Chairman Charlie Webster.”
