By Danny Reiter, PolitickerMD.com Reporter

ANNAPOLIS -- The Maryland Republican Party may have found its soul at this weekend's state GOP Fall 2008 Convention, but the state's beleaguered minority party seemed to have trouble laying out a detailed communications strategy.

Amid speculation, Pelura's future not on the convention agenda

By Danny Reiter, PolitickerMD.com Reporter

ANNAPOLIS -- Jim Pelura's future as chair of the Maryland Republican Party may still be in jeopardy after at this weekend's state GOP Fall 2008 Convention, but Pelura was not met with any public opposition and the conversation focused on the party's future as a whole.

Speculation continued on Friday that state Sens. Alex Mooney and Andy Harris were looking to oust Pelura, after Harris lost a hard-fought race for the 1st Congressional District seat against Democrat Frank Kratovil by only a few thousand votes. The district was considered a Republican stronghold by most.

Adamec predicted the governor would continue working despite an unpaid leave, but wasn't certain about O'Malley's plans.
