Tells you a lot about Davis, doesn't it?
If he, as you say, is the only one who knew what a difficult task was ahead, then he certainly didn't shirk his duty.

GOP picks Palo Alto attorney as new chair

SACRAMENTO (AP) - State Republicans elected Palo Alto attorney Duf Sundheim as their new chairman Sunday, choosing the head of a moderate Republican group over a longtime grass-roots activist after a racially charged campaign.

Sundheim got 666 votes and Back got 489.
(notice how close the vote was... tells you how screwed up things are)

Back was criticized during the campaign for circulating a newsletter in 1999 that included an essay suggesting the country would have been better off if the South had won the Civil War. He said he didn't agree with the essay and wasn't endorsing it by including it in the newsletter.

Sundheim, 50, chairman of the Lincoln Club of Northern California, replaces Shawn Steel, a polarizing figure who feuded openly with President Bush's top California adviser and resisted White House-backed reforms meant to professionalize party operations.
(meaning, the WH tried to get these nutcases out of California rep politics but could not)

Sundheim now faces the challenge of reviving a party that lost every statewide office to Democrats in November for the first time since 1882, lags Democrats in voter registration and is in the minority in both houses of the Legislature.
