IMHO, the RNC chair needs to be:
a) Conservative to the core
b) A master communicator; understands the benefits of conservativism, and skilled at communicating and selling those benefits
c) An excellent organizer and executive. The RNC chair can’t do it alone; he needs a deep, well-trained organization (and $$$)
Mr. Hunter unquestionably has a), and is pretty good at b) as well.
c), I’m not so sure about.
To tell the truth, since your original post I’ve been racking my feeble brain to try to identify a good RNC chair in the (R) party today. I’m drawing a blank.
Newt?
