NO RIGHT TO CALLS FOR HUFFMAN'S EXIT

IN YOUR May 15 editorial wherein you suggested Don Huffman resign as GOP Chairman, you seemed to be concerned about healthy two-party competition in Virginia politics.

What gives your newspaper the right to play an influential role in a party's leadership selection process?

Ironically, your published opinion on such matters tends to endanger the two-party system and is not welcome.

If your biased propaganda succeeds in altering public opinion to the extent that Huffman feels compelled to resign, I ask that you refrain from endorsing his successor.
