Pretty Much.
The Alaska GOP refused to properly seat elected Chairman Russ Millette and subsequently attempted to remove Vice Chair Debbie Brown when she assumed the Chairmanship. This past week, the takeover of the party was confirmed when the Central Committee rejected appeals from Millette and Brown, reaffirming the unelected installation of establishment favorite Peter Goldberg as the new party Chairman. Goldberg will be the fourth Chairman the party has had in a year, a very unhealthy sign for any organization....The result is what many Republicans in Alaska perceive as a coup overthrowing the elected leadership of the party by a group of long-time office holders seeking to perpetuate an oligarchic control of the party which opposes change and is unfriendly to new members. The refusal of the establishment leaders to give anyone outside of their circle access to financial records, mailing lists or fundraising information makes the situation look even more suspicious, especially because it seems as if denying them access to those party resources may have been the motive behind opposition to Millette and Brown.
And here's a nice one:
What is happening in Alaska is not surprising or unique. It’s just more blatant and shameless.
