Huckleberries Online

Name Tina-Phil-Bob Wing Of Local R’s

In the comments section, Lizard People, Cabbage Boy, & I have a good conversation going re: the shorthand Huckleberries Online should use for the Tina Jacobson-Phil Hart-Bob Pederson (Rally Right) wing of the local Republican Party. Cabbage Boy launched the conversation by terming the Old Guard wing of the party "Fedora Republicans" because the Pachyderm Club is shifting its Friday meeting place from IHOP to the new Fedora restaurant at Kathleen & Ramsey. Now, I know you smart alecks are going to come up with some hilarious suggestions. But ... really ... can you offer a good suggestion for the following question:

Question: What would be a good shorthand term for the Jacobson-Hart-Pederson wing that's now in control of the Kootenai County Republican Party -- and from what I hear "own" the courthouse?
