Hollingsworth Wins, Ruthie Loses

I haven't broken down the winners & losers in the Liberty Caucus/Rally Right vs. Reasonable Republican struggle for the GOPrecinct committee posts. But I see that Jim Hollingsworth beat Rally Right nemesis Matt Roetter in one precinct race, and Ruthie Johnson fell to a Reasonable Republican challenger. I also see that Tina Jacobson and John Cross survived challenges on the Tea Party side, while Duane Rasmussen and Kellie Palm did the same on the Reasonable Republican side. In other words, the Tea-publicans should maintain control but they'll still have to deal with critics within the Central Committee.
