Erm, no. First of all none of them are the behind the scenes type, the kind of person you want in this job.
Not to mention Paul is libertarian who is outside the GOP mainstream who probably agrees with Steele's recent comments.
And Romney is pondscum.
I'd go for 1 of 2 guys who ran for this post.
Ken Blackwell or Katon Dawson who were 1 and 1A respectively in my book.
Agreed. I'm always wary of having a GOP chairman who either currently holds a major office or is likely planning to run for one. Their focus should be on building the party full time.

Indeed. He's said so publicly:
Republican Steele’s Afghanistan Remarks Praised by Ron Paul
>> And Romney is pondscum. <<
I would rate Romney the best of the Rudy McRomney trio, but that's not saying much. Romney has a track record of saying anything to get elected and voters don't trust him. Definitely a bad choice for RNC Chairman.

Dawson would be excellent in the post, as would Blackwell. Appointing Blackwell would netralize the MSM goons and the RATs from claiming the mean ol' GOP throws blacks under the bus. Of course I don't think they can select a new chairman until 2012, unless Steele is pressured into stepping down before then.
