I like the idea of Senator Fred Thompson as RNC Chair and leaving Governor Sarah Palin to what she's been doing. Has any former RNC chair ever become president? I seem to recall former President George H.W. Bush in that position, but I'm not sure of it.

As I mentioned when this was posted earlier, about an hour ago, why would she deliberately sideline herself? Why would she go along with people who want to sideline her? What the RNC needs is someone who is low profile and effective, in the mold of Haley Barbour. The RNC chairman’s function is to get Republicans elected, not to make statements and take controversial positions on public policy.

I like the idea of Senator Fred Thompson as RNC Chair and leaving Governor Sarah Palin to what she's been doing.I agree, at least as far as Sarah Palin is concerned. She needs to continue speaking for herself, and not tied to a RNC position. Fred Thompson would be good, seeing he's no longer active in politics, but his friendship with McCain is a little troublesome to me.

GHW Bush was Party Chair back in the mid-70s.
Thompson's clearly the best person for the job, in my estimation. But, I think he'd rather act, for whatever reason. Party Chairman is tough, demanding job.

I’d like to see Fred doing more than he’s doing...that’s for sure. Plus, I’d like for him to STOP doing those stupid commercials for REVERSE mortgages. He’s losing some major credibility due to those ads.
With that said... it’s hard for me to comprehend why he didn’t get more support during his bid for the Presidency.

NO, NO, NO. Leave Sarah free to do what she wants, where she wants and how she wants. One of her biggest strengths is that she is a private citizen, communicating via facebook, twitter and personal appearances and however else she deems appropriate. Right now, she is helping conservatives, not necessarily the GOP. Under McLames’s thumb she was very constrained...now she's free and I trust her instincts.

Please Sarah DO NOT bite on the Piece of rotting flesh that IS the “RNC”! They SUCK!
To: 2ndDivisionVet
I dont like this idea at all. I like Sarah free to distinguish between conservatives and RINOs.
As for Mitt, I wouldn’t mind him at the RNC instead of on the presidential trail. He has proved himself a genius at raising money.

The democrats would be very happy if Sarah took any position but the one she should choose, and thats to be POTUS.
Hilary already has her flying monkey’s out doing dirty deeds, gonna be the catfight of the century with Sarah Palin going against Hilary Clinton.

I think you might be right. Any talk of Palin for RNC Chair is probably an attempt to derail any chance of her run for POTUS.
To: 2ndDivisionVet
If it's not broke don't fix it..Steele is doing a find job and even with his offending the left and some rights he has nunads.Sarah is doing what she does best why fix that? Reading between the videos I believe Sarah will run and she will fix all of obozo unexperince quagmires real quick!
To: 2ndDivisionVet
no.
Now they are trying to buy Palin off with this dead end job, they are getting really scared.
To: 2ndDivisionVet
Another stupid idea.
The clowns who think she is unqualified, or needs more "seasoning" do not have her or the nation's best interests at heart.
Palin is the ONLY Republican taking on the Obama neo-communist regime.
To: All
Sarah Palin would be great as RNC chair as it will be a bully pulpit to reign in the RINOs and to rally the conservative base.
It will also keep her from running for president in 2012 and that is a good thing too as she was proven to be unelectable in 2008.
