Oh come on. How many can name 5 of the last 10 RNC chairmen without Googling it? The RNC chair is a path to obscurity. Palin has far more influence and excites the base to a greater extent doing what she's doing than she ever would as RNC chairman.
Most folks have absolutely NO knowledge of what the job entails or what kind of personality even wants it.
Sarah wouldn't want it, and neither would I.
