"The platform that most ran on is as follows: "We commit to renewing the El Paso County Republican Party by promoting family values, personal responsibility, individual rights, limited government, strong military, and free markets. We will work diligently to find, support, and elect candidates who will protect and defend our Republican platform. It is our intention to create a vision which will unite our county party and return it to preeminence among Republican counties in the United States."

It will be interesting to see if the words "We will work diligently to find, support, and elect candidates who will protect and defend our Republican platform" mean that the candidates who ran on this platform have an interest in finding legislative candidates whose politics match their potential legislative districts and thus are electable.
Without electable candidates, the commitment to "renew" the county party is worse than hollow. It is an unfunny joke. The acid test will be to see who is recruited to run in Merrifield's district. It isn't too early to find an electable candidate to run against John Morse, either.
