The knives come out: Corinne Wood assesses Chairman Topinka’s performance.
************************************************
Corinne Wood: My question is, in two years and raising all of that money, what have we gotten- we continue to lose at the Presidential level…the whole Alan Keyes-Barack Obama and I have to say it was a fiasco and most people did see that coming.

Jeff Berkowitz: Do you blame the State Central Committee for that selection of Alan Keyes?

Wood: Well, I think the voters have made their decision as to whether or not there should be a few dozen people in a closed door room making a decision as to who should be the Republican nominee ] for the U. S. Senate. I don’t think they chose correctly. I think the voters of Illinois have also said, “He wasn’t the right choice.”

Berkowitz: Who is to blame for that? Is Judy Baar Topinka? Does she have to share in that blame? She is the Chairman of the State GOP.

Wood: Well, if someone is the Chairman of a Party or someone is the President of the Company, and their company consistently has weak results, you can’t always blame it on someone else, can you?
