UPDATE - The challenger to Ron Nehring failed to answer the bell.

This is beyond absurd - could the same people sending cowardly emails and recruiting unknown candidates for CRP office have pulled off another one? I got a poorly worded email from someone billing themself as a Silicon Valley savior for the techno-challenged California Republican Party.

It's all Ron Nehring's fault, don't 'ya know? If Nehring did such a bad job - why have Chairpeople from almost EVERY COUNTY IN CALIFORNIA endrosed Nehring?

The title of the Man's email says it all - as does its' beginning:

RE: Saturday Party at the top of the Hyatt! / New Candidate for CPR CHAIRMAN

Dear California Republican!

This is your fellow CRP delegate checking in from Silicon Valley California!

I can't wait to meet you at the California Republican Party Convention this weekend!

We need to start now to prepare for our 2010 win. 

Although the voters in the USA are still right of center, the last election showed that the California Republican Party fell behind when it came to technology!!

SO LETS GET THE PARTY BACK ON TRACK!

JOIN US SATURDAY NIGHT AT CALIFORNIA CONVENTIONFOR OUR FREE ELEGANT  SILICON VALLEY SOIREE!

The email also featured a picture of him on the marquee for the NASDAQ stock exchange - nice.

Was this guy recruited by Meg Whitman? Was this guy recruited by a past CRP Chairman who is from the Silicon Valley? Steve Poizner is supporting Nehring.

The fact that he spelled it CPR Chairman in the title of the email renders anything IN the email useless - because the CRP has issues, we don't need to add sixth grade english to them. (As in INTRODUCE YOURSELF BY NAME IN THE BEGINNING OF YOUR EMAIL!)

Finally - "I can't wait to meet all of you at the California Republican Party convention this weekend". Uh-huh... I can't wait to ask him what flavor is his favorite...
