Bob Tiernan Bows Out As State GOP Chair

Parting shots from the outgoing head of the Oregon GOP. Bob Tiernan says he hopes Governor-Elect John Kitzhaber will cooperate with Republicans to get the State's financial house in order; but says he has his doubts about that because they will have to cut some pet programs. Tiernan announced that he wouldn't seek a second term, and endorsed businessman Allen Alley as his replacement as party chairman.
