Clark Co. Republican Chair...King Jamey I

The King and His Court

 The BatBlog has discussed the Democratic chairmanship here in Clark Co., now we turn to the GOP chair.
Current chairman and C.C. sheriff  Jamey Noel was quoted by  the N/T  "no one else seemed to have an interest in wanting to do it"  what this means nobody is stupid enough to challenge Noel's authority, power and success for the foreseeable future.

As former president George W. Bush said "power is intoxicating" and anyone that follows politics and politicians know that 99.9% of politicians want to take it to the next level... that's just the nature of the beast.  There are probably  plenty of local republicans that would love to have the power and status of GOP chair, but they know Noel is riding high right now and he has the Republican caucus in his hip pocket. It would be a very stupid on anyone's part for their political future to even thinking about opposing King Jamey.

Unless a serious chink develops in King Jamey's armor like losing the next sheriff's election or Noel moving to a state political appointment, the GOP chair is squarely in his hands. Rumored successors to the throne Matt (LapDog) Owen or Scottie Maples will have to wait in the wings, impatiently waiting for King Jamey to move on, abdicate or be dethroned . Keep in mind though loyalty and politics are pretentious at best and true loyalty only goes so far. If Noel would wobble as king only slightly look for the GOP buzzards to appear and start circling for his chair.

One misstep and the political buzzards appear

 Noel's rule over local Republicans and the job he has done as sheriff (even though 60 Days In was hokey at best) shouldn't be underestimated. Even before GOP's national dominance Noel had Clark Co. Republicans soaring to highs like never before seen in these parts. His leadership and the slates he has put together have dominated through the last several election cycles with no changes in sight. Noel's sheriff's  tenure has been clean of any controversy other than rumors of mild dissension in the Dept.

So if your a rank and file, devoted GOP voter you have to be happy with the reign of King Jamey and look forward to more of the same success at the ballot box. Even Democrats can't deny or not be impressed with his rise to power his success at elections and bringing former Dem.s into the Republican hold....That's why we hear "Long live the King !!!" from many Clark Co. Repulicans...
