At OpenCDA.com, Mary Souza explains her side of the story re: that Republican Women's luncheon Saturday -- you know, the one in which Deanna Goodlander was asked to speak by the group's national president and Vice Chairman Duane Rasmussen of the local GOP Central Committee spoke out against challenger Dan Gookin's Republican credentials. Mary said she wanted to counter the "lies" promulgated on the Spokane gossip blog and to clarify what was said at a private meeting involving Gookin, Rasmussen, Souza and five others, including two county GOP bigwigs. Souza contends that Rasmussen has been misconstruing what Gookin said at that meeting re: having "Republican" branded on his backside. You can read all about it in the first and only comment (at this point) under this post here.
