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 agree. The problem with the RNC chair today is that he's far too outspoken and often laughably so. Her taking the position and using it properly would effectively muzzle her. We need her independence.

Ditto and ditto. This is a transparent attempt to get her to “sit down and shut up”, as RNC Chair she’s have to embrace some policies she doesn’t personally support, regurgitate the “party line” rather the speaking her own mind, and give up the ability to generate substantial income for her family.

Anyone who takes this suggestion seriously doesn’t have a clue.

Putting Sarah Palin as RNC Chair would be like hooking up your prized race horse to haul the milk wagon. Someone like Pawlenty might advance himself and the party there.

Those who want Sarah for RNC Chair want her to add another resignation to her resume. She would have to resign by early 2011 if she wanted to run in 2012.

No one seems to be proposing Romney for RNC Chair. He is very good at supporting RINOs and that’s what the RNC does best.
