Since I have been writing about the goings-on in the State Capitol, I have had a policy of NOT writing about the internal politics of our legislative caucuses. It just tends to be a loser all around.
This is significant now because I have received a good number of e-mails from readers asking me to handicap the race to succeed Dick Ackerman as Senate Republican Leader. I got even more of them with Senator George Runner’s announcement that he was not going to pursue the post any longer.
That said, I wanted to share with you that my absence of coverage on this is actually on purpose.
Of course, there are many other bloggers on this site, any perhaps they might weigh in.
I will only say that it is clear that a change will take place well before the budget debate comes to a head.
We look forward to working with the next Senate Republican Leader, as we currently do with Dick Ackerman (and Assembly GOP Leader Mike Villines), towards the advancement of a limited government agenda.
