Shay Elected Chairman

Following up on a post we did last week concerning Audra Shay, the Jindal endorsed candidate for national chairman of the Young Republicans who became embroiled in controversy when racist comments were found on her Facebook page, was elected to the position this weekend. Rachel Weiner reported for thehuffingtonpost.com on Shay's victory, as well as other controversial Facebook comments that came to light following the initial report. Here is an excerpt from the story:

"Elections bring a lot of emotion out of people," said delegate Katherine Miller, 24, Lexington, Ky. "But this controversy really is not the decisive factor for the majority of people voting here. There are so many important issues we are considering. It really has been played up a little bigger than it really is."
