I have been saying for MONTHS, long before the Deedee Scozzafava ‘affair’ that the biggest obstacles to getting rid of the RINOs and getting someone in office to put up a REAL challenge to Democrats will be THE RNC!! THE GOP will prove to be a more formidable opponent and obstacle than the DEMS!!! Everything I have predicted is coming true!

Michael Steele would just be satisfied to “compete”, as he’s put it, NOT win!!
It is exactly that intra-party challenge for which Palin is especially suited and proven. DeMint gets credit for going to battle with the party as well, but otherwise there are precious few others—and Palin is the one who is nationally electable.
