Well, Who Would Guess The Winner of This One?

So, who would have thought she would win?

A Louisiana woman Saturday won the top job in the Young Republicans National Federation despite a national flap over racist comments on her Facebook account.

Nearly 600 Young Republican delegates from across the country spurned the controversy during voting for new leaders at a convention in the Downtown Hyatt Regency hotel.

Calling the posting just political mudslinging, delegates selected Audra Shay, 38, as their new chairman. She will head the group of up-and-coming Republicans ages 18-40 for two years. In a vote closed to news media coverage, Shay defeated Rachel Hoff 470-415 to become chairman, according to TheConservativist.com blog.

On the online social networking site Facebook, Shay had supported a friend's bashing of President Obama, according to a column on TheDailyBeast.com by John Avlon, a senior fellow at the Manhattan Institute.

I wasn't sure she WOULDN'T.
