The well-respected Collins is a former executive director and deputy chairman of the Iowa state party, and a former political director of the Republican Governor's Association.
He managed Mitt Romney's ultimately unsuccessful Iowa caucus operation in 2007 and 2008, and later moved on to become John McCain's Midwest regional campaign manager, overseeing the battleground states of Missouri and Iowa.

Steele shines yet again.
Way to go, buddy.

He might as well add Charlie Black, and Rich Bond.
This thing needs flushed out!
It’s affirmative action. RNC has to put losers in significant postions so their self-esteem won’t suffer. The whole competition thing in campaigning is so, like, last year. /sarc
“I am thrilled to announce the addition of Gentry to the RNC team,” party chairman Michael Steele said in a statement. “He brings with him a proven record of success at building broad bases of grassroots and volunteer coalitions. Our primary task at the RNC is to grow our party and elect more Republicans and this appointment allows us to take another step towards those goals.”
More of the same ole same old. Yuck
Are there no fresh faces?
Steele appointing a proven loser to a key RNC post....nice!
Check this gagger of a development out...!
It’s one of Romney’s men.
RNC wants coatholder, bootlicks. Men, who are their own men, not wanted.
I really think it’s time for Steele to step aside. He keeps bungling. Ken Blackwell is raring to go.
I’m underwhelmed....
Steele was on Sean’s radio show today. Sean sucked up to hom and Steele sppke of conservative values. Now he appoints another RINO just like himself.
Kiss 2010 and 2012 goodbye.
As long as Steele and other RINO’s are running things I’ll keep my money and my vote.
Steele, what are you doing? We don’t need more RINOS.
Great. The Bob Shrum of the GOP = just what we need.
I heard that interview. Steele was spouting conservative views again. Just wait til a DH Hughley redux.
