Young Republican turns rebel with party cause

Web site seeks young conservatives: Washoe County GOP official says he welcomes like-minded groups.

Odom: Created a Web site for the Washoe GOP that was pulled.

Hip, young Republicans? It’s not a contradiction in terms for Eric Odom, who with a few friends has created the Washoe Conservative Coalition, a student group he hopes will appeal to young, aggressive conservatives.

Right, Mr. Odom?

Hello?

7. Sorry to disappoint the author of this stupid piece
