An attempt to declare Idaho a "Christian state" was nixed by the local Republican Party. Precinct Committeeman Hans Neumann chastised two fellow committeemen for leaking the draft resolution to the Coeur d'Alene Press before it was heard Tuesday night by the Kootenai County Republican Central Committee at the group's regular monthly meeting. Neumann said it was his first resolution, and he wasn't prepared for the "uproar" it caused when Precinct Committeemen Bjorn Handeen and Kellie Palm offered their opinions on the draft resolution in The Press. "I was surprised to discover that apparently it is accepted procedure to introduce a draft resolution to newspapers when that resolution has not yet been discussed, amended or voted on," Neumann said. "That caused quite a bit of uproar here and I apologize to you for not knowing this was apparently the accepted procedure"/Jeff Selle, Coeur d'Alene Press. More here.

Question: What do you think would have happened if Neumann's resolution had been heard by local Republicans?
