Midwest GOP chiefs meet in Chicago to discuss strategy
Seven Midwest Republican chairmen met at an O'Hare hotel in Chicago and decided to stay in touch rather than form a bloc. They backed two potential national candidates, Indiana's Milligan and Ohio's McGough, while noting the national chair race will be decided individually in Washington January 14 15. McLaughlin said the party’s image is weak and too closely linked to business, appealing to only about 20 percent of voters.
