But what does Michael Steele mean when he says, "Sarah Palin should "reorient" the party and grow it?" Has the party's orientation been wrong and now he is inviting Sarah Palin to reorient it? Looking at the party's Constitution and bylaws, how does one person "reorient" the party? Is there a "reorientation" position authorized in the bylaws, together with "reorientation" rules that need to be implemented and Sarah Palin is just the person to do the job? Has there been a motion made by the National Republican Committee, duly authorizing Sarah Palin as the GOP "reorientation" person?

I seem to recall Sarah Palin going up against entrenched corporate-type Republicans from big oil, is this what Michael Steele is now calling on Sarah Palin to do within the party structure -- empower grassroot-Republicans over the corporate wing of the party -- actually support the party's political platform rather than the corporate wing's political agenda? History has shown us the corporate wing of the party doesn't really care about lowering taxes, individual liberty or reducing government. What they want is someone who can rightfully pick up that banner in the peoples' eyes, while they pursue business as usual behind the scenes.

I agree with Mr. Steele, the Republican Party badly needs to be reorientated, from the ground up. But before Sarah Palin picks up the GOP banner, she had better make sure she actual has the power to "re-orientate" the party. If she doesn't, it will be she who is "reorientated.

In order to qualify for a spot on a Republican ticket, a person must first provide evidence of their respect for the BoR by letting us know what their favorite carry firearm is, and what other firearms they feel best represent the Spirit of our RKBA.

If you can't bring yourself to believe in our freedoms on such a basic item... You are no "conservative" at all...

Michael Steele wants Sarah Palin to reorient" the party and grow it. .....

The first step would have to include Michael Steele himself stepping aside and letting Gov. Palin have her pick of who would head up the RNC and who woould staff it. Until then I don't her taking him on the offer.
