Republican National Committee (RNC) Chairman Mike Duncan believes Republicans can beat either of the two top Democrats racing for their party’s nomination.
For Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton (N.Y.), Duncan says it comes down to trust. Sen. Barack Obama’s (Ill.) weakness, on the other hand, is his experience, according to Duncan.
Duncan continually brought up Clinton and Obama during a Wednesday morning breakfast with reporters sponsored by The Christian Science Monitor. Pointing to internal poll numbers, the RNC chairman repeatedly insisted that no matter who Republicans nominate, the Democratic candidate can be defeated in November.

Well, first let’s have candidates that aren’t frickin’ RINOs....
UNNNGH!!

“Meet the New Mike Duncan”
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1738373/posts
Some background on him. But I can’t say that he has impressed me so far. In fact, I didn’t even know he was head of the RNC. I thought it was still Mel Martinez, but I just checked, and now I see that Mel resigned last October.
Well, good riddance. But the new head of the RNC has certainly kept a very low profile.
Too late.
Duncan needs to step away from the crack pipe and wake up from his drug induced slumber.
He won't win jack by putting up RINOs/CINOs and alienating the base.
Yeah, right.
Good luck doing without millions from the Conservative base who won't vote for your RINOs anymore.
Duncan isn’t putting up anyone, not a RINO nor CINO.
We have these factors called...voters....and Mike Duncan can think whatever he wishes to think, at the end of the day, he has to work with what...voters...give him to work with.
It’s a smart play on his part saying that we can beat either Hilde or Barry, we can, “we” need a candidate who can rally people to him, we don’t have that yet.
But, but, the “Internal Polls” told Mr Duncan it’s so.../sarc off
If you think the the party heads(plural) don’t have any say or sway in who gets support/the nod, or not; you are sadly delusional.
Our party is in panic (despite the public facade). Money down and volunteers down due to party as whole being weak on illegal immigration, lack of fisal conservatism, etc. Lack of Indians but plenty of chiefs (county club flip flop candidates that have the no initial cash to launch campaigns but not the core to inspire a strong base).
So, the GOP will probably lose this election badly and just blame it on Bush (and go with the same RINO strategy in 2010 and 2012).
Forget that already. We all need to get over it. There is a universal divide between our "RINOs" and their "candidates." None of our RINOs are straight out America hating traitors, for a start.
Too bad, the last non-RINO just left the building.... we're stuck with sub-Bob Dole candidates this year.
So the RNC is bankrolling the current group of Candidates?
Paying out of pocket for Mitt, or Rudy or Huck?
They are all broke and have been broke for a long time.
Duncan could say he hated any one of them, and there would be nothing he could do because Hunter and Thompson were not the choices of the voters, his hands are tied.
Apparently, these folks want Hilde or Bary to win the Presidency, then the moaning will begin in earnest...
In some ways, I think it would clarify things, Conservatives have gotten lazy, a Hillary wake up call may do the trick.
At least Barbour was visible, this guy is probably only useful for moving chairs.
Today I quit the GOP.
By the way, just yesterday Mr. Duncan was nice enough to send me a rather large fold out “Stop Hillary” sign for me to display on my property. Of course a monetary donation was expected in return. He thought I should donate to the GOP to stop Hillary, not because of the qualifications of the present lineup of RINO’s. I kept the sign.
Oh, please don't say that. I'll hold my nose and vote for the Republican candidate. Let the voters sort it out first, though.
Nothing to see here folks, move along, move along....
Mr. Rove put the phone down and step off into the night. Your time is over. Your abilities have faded and you are now less useful than teats on a boar hog.
This ole boy is trying to thread a limp noodle through the eye of a needle.

I hate to say it but the only Republican I know of that I would vote for is Rush Limbaugh. And he ain’t interested.
“I hate to say it but the only Republican I know of that I would vote for is Rush Limbaugh.”
Can you imagine the moonbat meltdown if he did run.
We only lose if we get too many “my guy lost, so I’m staying home to teach the GOP a lesson”...Get over that your guy lost, and vote for the Republican that gets the nomination. Then after this year, we need to project a good conservative for 2012...

Rush is a Conservative not necessarily a Republican. He had quite a long monologue about it the other day. He may vote for Republicans but he takes offense at the label. I personally never did feel that way (I was a proud Republican)... my past posts will prove it...but I agree with Rush now.

“Well, first let’s have candidates that aren’t frickin’ RINOs....”
Would be nice. But of the candidates left, it is wise to choose one whom can beat Hillary or Obama in the general election. I believe that Republican nominee to be Mitt Romney. Notice he made no mention of Mitt Romney, the one who is LESS of a RINO.
I agree, staying home is not an option.
This was a fairly predictable thread...
I got a letter looking up at me from the Republican Party...haven’t decided if I should just feed it straight into the shredder.
I would vote as well, but the “Silent majority” has gotten pretty comfy under GWB, perhaps they have forgotten what the 90’s were like even when we controlled the Congress and Slick Willy was CINC.
That and to be honest, the GOP no longer puts in the work either in Congressional Districts, one volunteer at a time, or up in DC, they still don’t really seem to understand what motivates “us”.
Boehner has at least begun to rebuild us.
It could be your free “Stop Hillary” fold out poster.
These are the guidelines by which Reagan lived and governed. Early in his career Reagan made some mistakes by trusting liberals... abortion legislation he signed into law while Governor of California is an example... and he learned early in his first administration that liberals could never be trusted. Tip O'Neil screwed him over by lying about promised spending cuts to offset new taxes Reagan signed in favor of. Reagan learned this important lesson about the honesty and integrity of liberals... but far too many in the Republican Party are blind to the liberalism that they embrace as Conservatism. They cannot see the forest for the trees.

Give me a break.
Well, it's a good thing our RINO corps of candidates are so trustworthy, so America can fully appreciate the distinction...
yeah ... I would be nice to have a candidate to vote for instead of voting against.
Yipppeeee!
Call me a puppet on a string, but...that is an easy button to push.
I drove through Concord, MA (Cradle of Liberty...PAH! What it has become...) this morning on my way to work. There were about 5-7 people with Hillary signs.
Women I expect. There are some women out there (umm...Gennifer Flowers for a stomach-turning example?) who would vote for Hillary because...she is a woman.
But there were three guys out there. What is that? I was completely flummoxed...how high up do you have to get snipped to hold a sign for Hillary?
That was just disturbing.
She will never, ever get MEN to vote for her. I am not talking about Rush Limbaugh’s “New Castrati”. I am talking about Normal Men.
Her crusty pantsuitness’s voice is like chalk on a board. It is the sound etched deep into the primordial areas of Man’s Brain.
It is the sound of a woman who is very, VERY angry at him.
Her voice is shrill...and resonates a perfect, exquisitely awful dissonance at certain frequencies.
Primordial Man first heard that sound when he dragged his filthy, muddy ass into that clean, dry cave and was lit into by Primordial Woman because he didn’t clean the swamp ooze off of his feet, or the Wooly Mammoth guts off of his malodorous fur skin.
That is the voice of Hillary Clinton. She tries to hide it. Oh, she tries sooooo hard. But no matter how hard she tries, there are times she opens that mouth and every man with that Primordial Man inside him, hears Her voice.
Of course, men with the Primordial woman inside them are just fine with her. They LIKE it.
Romney’s inconsistencies are way too many, as with all the remaining GOP candidates. I never can get past the abortion issue with him. A practicing Mormon who supported the killing of the unborn.
I saw neither numbers nor strategy. Misleading title.
Actual title, not mine.
"Get over it", how?
I absolutely refuse to aid and abet the further dilution of Conservatism by voting for just anything and everything that hangs an (R) by its name.
Yeah, I know it wasn’t your title. I just like to criticize stupid reporters.
It ia true...The only problem is the Republican’s don’t have a true Republican in the race...Deja Vu!
