Republican National Committee Chairman Michael Steele is in trouble with many in his party after speaking out against the war in Afghanistan. Some are even calling for him to be removed.

CBS News Senior White House Correspondent Bill Plante reports there's talk in GOP circles that Sarah Palin should replace him.

As far as I'm concerned, it's a part time job.

Palin could do it in her spare time.

Then they will say: “she gave up a third job” when she will leave the RNC to run...NO and double NO. It can only hurts her.

does anyone even donate to the RNC any more?

Nope. The RNC regime over the last few election cycles are filled with gutless morons like Steele, Graham, and McCain.

“Plus, Sarah’s already been busy rebuilding the GOP, HER WAY!”

If you go back to last year when Sarah gave all those interview when she step down she basically said the same thing. She wanted to restructure the party from the outside in. Also from the bottom up as well. I can see Sarah going back on word on this one. The DC elites want nothing to do with Sarah and She want nothing to do with them. The only house in DC Sarah would move in to is the WH. End of story!!!.

Huge mistake if Palin took that job.

She'd become a large lightening rod with no upside.

The next step would be National Press Club, another sit down with Katie Couric, Charles Gibson, etc.

When she is ready to run for higher office she should be comfortable sticking her head in the lion’s mouth.

No offense, but that's plain idiotic.

"Sticking her head in the lion's mouth" will impress exactly who? The Obot libtards? It certainly won't do a thing to sway anyone on the center-right.

The MSM is the defacto propaganda wing of the radical left-wing, and they will use every technique available to them to injure Governor Palin, should she ever consent to another "interview" with them - just like they did during the 2008 campaign.

I don't know if you watched her big debut at the Republican National Convention, but the looks on the faces of the MSM critters covering the event said it all. They were stunned and shell-shocked. In fact, the left-wing was so stunned by Sarah Palin that it took them a whole 48 hours before they launched their first fusillades at her. When they did, it was with an unparalleled force and fury that was breathtaking.

You give the MSM far too much credence and respect. Sarah has pegged them for what and who they are, and has not made the mistake of trusting them again. And you know what? It hasn't made a dime's worth of difference in the level of support she has across the nation, nor has her voice been muffled or silenced. She's more popular now than ever, and will continue to be, without the "support" of the traitorous MSM.

I’m not sure who the powers that be have in mind for the RNC chair. But, gauging their heart and intellect, these guys have in mind someone from the movie PCU (Politically Correct University). He is at a fraternity initiation and gets a swat from a huge paddle. After each swat he says “Thank you sir, may I have another.” The go along get along Republicans are looking for THAT guy.

I like Sarah but she has to be able to step it up a couple of notches.

Yes. We love her. But she doesn’t have to win our votes. She has them.

Question- is she a good leader? Can she command the respect of our enemies and the democrats?

Can she go up against Katie Curic and hold her own?

Can she rise to the level of a foreign policy expert? Or at least to the point where she talks so intelligently about a topic that people who don’t agree with her could be persuaded?

Time will tell. But she has an uphill climb if she is going to win independents.

The rumor of Palin must have been floated by Steele.

More likely by Romney people trying to get her out of the way for his 2012 ascension.

She's the most fearsome force that our side has seen since the time of Ronaldus Magnus, and you say that "she needs to step it up a couple of notches"?

What exactly do you want her to do, that she isn't already doing? Why is the bar so high with some people when it comes to Sarah Palin? I never hear calls for any other potential presidential candidate to "step it up a couple of notches".

She's got to "get a better grasp of international issues", or "she's got to show more gravitas", or "she's got to develop a more serious tone", yada, yada, yada.

I'll tell you what....it's all a bunch of bs. NO ONE else has done more, or has been so outspoken for conservative causes, or for the restoration of a constitutionally grounded America than Sarah Palin has. She has become the defacto leader of the movement to return our nation to its founding principles, and tried and true modus operandi.

People who overlook all of her sterling qualities, and who artificially raise the bar for her into the Founding Fathers realm are simply attempting to nullify her.

Question- is she a good leader? Can she command the respect of our enemies and the democrats?

Friend, if you haven't already seen these qualities in spades in Sarah Palin, then you'll never see them. Perhaps you don't want to see them. They're plainly evident to most people - including the entire left-wing, who are scared sh*tless of her, for those very reasons.

Sarah was my first choice when this whole debacle began.

Upon reflection, the only real choice for the Position is Liz Cheney, hands down.

The other issue that will surface “if” Steele is fired will be usual Republicans hate Black People argument.

The Media would push that up until Election Day to the glee of the Rat Party. They are itching for anything to take the spotlight off the Democrat Socialist Agenda and Obama’s complete lack of ability.

I don’t think the other side is scared of her. Yes they hate her.

But if they could pick any candidte to run against it would be her.

I hpoe that one day they are scared of her. But first she will have to be taken serously and will have to reach independents, Blue Dogs and Reagan Democrats.

Like Hillary or not, she made herself Presidential material by focussing on certain issues like foreign policy. She didn’t just give red meat speeches to NOW, ACT-UP, NAACP and Planned Parenthood.
