The Republican clique is broken up

Matt Kelty had to break away from the cliques in his Republican Party. The party prominent leaders had already preselected a new candidate for Mayor, and it was not Kelty. Does Kelty have a chance of winning the republican nomination by challenging the clique mentality of his party by challenging the appointed Nelson Peters. Kelty throws the first blow by making his announcement to the gang.


The party loyalist quickly closed rank. The message. Kelty would not win without the base support. Kelty answered back. A poll was taken suggesting that not only could Kelty win, but he could win without the backing of the party's leaders. Unconvinced, the splinter group went their separate ways touting each other. Until..

On May 8, 2007, after challenge after challenge, Kelty lead his campaign members by foot to the Allen County Republican Headquarters to announce his victory. How appropriate. They made their way down from the first floor of the Towers Bank building. Made their way through the revolving doors on to the pavement. Made their way pass the court house, pass the city county building to rebuild the clique.

There was no victory song playing in the background playing called, a city with room for dreams or on the wings of a prayer . But, there was Nelson Peters who conceded to the architect Kelty. Yes, children there is a moral to this story when dealing with cligues, right can win over might. Or just simply STAND for something.

According to the Journal- Gazette:
Kelty took 50.3 percent of the vote to Peters’ 46.7 percent in the Republican primary, according to unofficial results. Only 661 votes separated the two.


Lanka writes only "661 votes". It takes only one vote in the majority to declare a win. Kelty stated on WOWO to Charley Butcher it was a grass root uprising with the support of his friends. Now the party will have to close rank, again.

Update 8: 15 A.M. Nelson Peters stated on WOWO to Charley Butcher his loss pales when compared to the benchmark that are occuring within his family, his children. And that is the message that is being shouted help the family instead of big business.
