Santos faults GOP party leaders for lack of support in Congressional campaign

Some rebuke of the Connecticut Republican Party is coming from within.  5th District Congressional candidate Manny Santos has sent an email to supports criticizing party leaders for poor support during the campaign.  The former Meriden mayor says the political machine needs to be overhauled in order to produce victories.  Santos lost to Democrat Jahana Hayes by 31,000 votes.  In his email, he notes that of 41 Republican Town Committee chairs asked to supply coordinators, he only received 3 responses.  He also said that "too many members are either lazy, uninformed, uncaring or simply incompetent to be of any help to candidates." Santos says there were no volunteer lists, staffed victory headquarters and ineffective party leadership members.  In his email, Santos also called for the nominating convention to be ended, and the expulsion or not reelecting members who are known to be ineffective.
