Republican National Committee Needs a New Leader

Something to chew on:

In the 2009 election cycle (via the Virginia Public Access Project), the RNC gave Bob McDonnell $2,253,500. In 2013 (as of Oct. 23), the RNC "coughed up a paltry $85,098" for Cuccinelli...

I nominate Allen West!!!

[Cringing Negativism Network]

I’ll vote for Allen West also.

I agree wholeheartedly though. The GOP is on the wrong path, and needs to change BIG, and needs to change right away.

Now.

[Gaffer]

No, we don’t need a new RNC leader. We need a new RNC. One that is a Phoenix Rising From the Ashes of a decimated Republican elitist cadre of establishment appeasers and cowards. One with a head set straight by the people it purports to champion. Screw the RNC....

[SMARTY]

Maybe the RNC needs a new leader but the real question is... WHO NEEDS THE RNC??

“They likely relied on the same old bunch of hack consultants...”

Karl Rove’s lousy advice is a constant in all these Republican defeats. Are we certain he’s not a Democrat mole?

[Servant of the Cross]

The RNC and its many "affiliated groups" gave up on GOP nominee for governor of Virginia Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli. They likely relied on the same old bunch of hack consultants and pollsters who reported that Cuccinelli was dead in the water and could never be revived. They sat by and watched the Democrats and their well-oiled machine, made up of a confederation of outside money groups, savage the Republican nominee with ads focusing on turning out female voters based on Cuccinelli's very pro-life and very conservative positions on social issues.

When you fail in a such a grand and public way, you must resign.

Priebus' failure here is of Sebelius proportion and the same result should apply.

West/Carson... now there’s a dream ticket!!

[central_va]

Newt for RNC.

Perhaps we're thinking and urging people incorrectly.

How about Palin or West for a GOP leader.

We think of these people as talkers and influencers with a secret thumping in our brains to try to pray them into running for president or something.

I'd rather Sarah or The Col. deciding and dictating the moneys and influence to worthy campaigns and even being part or all of the brains behind campaigns.

The selection of cabinetry and compatriots is just as, if not more than, as important as an office.

If Col. West come to me and said, "Look, knarf ... THIS is the guy you need to run your ad campaigns", I'd stand, salute and say yes sir.

[McGruff]

Are our RNC learnin?

Select someone like Sarah Palin and I'll start contributing. Otherwise go pound salt.

Wait... are there actually some who think he IS NOT???

WHOA!

"When you fail in a such a grand and public way, you must resign."

Yep. And this isn't the first time he has failed miserably- his spending strategies in the 2012 races were disasters, as well.

[LibLieSlayer]

I vote for Colonel West!

Glenn Beck just called rove a dangerous, evil man.

>>> They likely relied on the same old bunch of hack consultants and pollsters who reported that .....

RNC Chairman is not the problem. These hacks that just won’t go away are!

[Looking at you Rove, and McCain/Romney-wing.]

[libstripper]

REFUSE TO GIVE THE RNC ANY MONEY!!

They don't call him "The Architect" for nothin'.
