Florida Republican Party Chairman Jim Greer announced his resignation today, saying his critics would "burn down the house" if he didn't quit.
Former House Speaker John Thrasher, a state senator from Duval County, is expected to be elected chairman at a specially called meeting of the GOP State Committee in Orlando on Feb. 20.
He said complaints about his handling of party finances were "uninformed" and that anger over his open support for Gov. Charlie Crist in the U.S. Senate race had been misinterpreted, but that he had decided that continuing to fight for his job would split the party in a critical election year."
Greer hopes his departure will unite GOP activists and heal sharp divisions.
