A challenge to you:
(and to all the Mitt-botts who jumped on this thread - thanks for the responses BTW)
Name one. Just one. One. Republican out there today other than Sarah Palin, who would more fire up the base. Marco Rubio is out too, since he just got an even better job in Florida.
Go ahead. Take all the time you need.
Just one name...
Michael Williams for one.
First off I consider myself “of the base” and Christine O’Donnell has never fired me up. I don’t even particularly like her. She was a means to an end to take out Castle for me and that is all.
Second the job is not to “fire up the base”. This job is to secure money for elections which *maybe* she could do but also represent and strategize Republican victories. She’d fail in that role. If you want to know who I think should head it then fine. I’ll give you the name. Hayley Barbour. He’s more then qualified and one of the few people that will work with the base but not completely cater to them who is respected with those who hold the purse strings. That man would be ideal to take oer the role for 2012.
..and no, I want nothing to do with Mitt in the RNC.
There are a lot of sleepers out there who can fire up the base- they are doing it in their States and districts, they just need a national stage.
