    The Republican Party of Orange County is in an uproar over the picture of a family of chimpanzees with a portrait of President Barack Obama superimposed on one of their faces. A comment says, "Now you know why — No Birth Certificate." GOP County Committee member Marilyn Davenport emailed it to other committee members, and she's refused Chairman Scott Baugh's call to resign. Two other committee members forwarded the email to former state Republican Chairman Mike Schroeder, who alerted the press, among them Martin Wisckol, Politics Editor for the Orange County Register.
