A Berry Picker (re: Huckleberries Hears ... that United Conservatives of North Idaho are organizing): "If Tina Jacobson, chairman of the Kootenai County GOP Central Committee, is involved, it's a serious conflict. She's helping to organize a new group because of flaws in the local Republican party when she's heading the local Republican Party? Just a guess that (Bob Pedersen of Rally Right) and his posse were none too happy that the Reagan Republicans put their boots to the ground for the Coeur d'Alene School Board and the recent municipal elections with some success and a headline or two. The purpose of the local central committees of both parties is to work towards electing and primarily supporting candidates of each respective party to county offices and the state legislature. It certainly isn't to create splinter groups.

Question: Does Chairwoman Tina Jacobson of the Kootenai County GOP CC, have a conflict of interest in speaking to a new conservative organization? Are local Republicans splintered?
