Gordon Allen Pross distancing himself from his Party?
Hm. You know the Republican Party “brand” is in trouble when your perenial oddity candidate does this:
There is the issue of Republicans playing games with the “party preference” on their filing forms.
Some of the Republican candidates decided to file as “Prefers G.O.P. Party” — such as Dino Rossi for Governor, and Jim Wiest for Lieutentant Governor. Gordon Allan Pross filed as “Prefers Grand Old Party” for 4th district U.S. House.
Go figure. But, as he said in his 2002 bid, “I am so your candidate!“, which is a sentiment that I suppose transcends party.
