Considering the typical state party orgs and national creepy-crawlers, it's a pretty decent group.
We could be looking at a choice between Christie Todd Whitman, Tom Davis, and Gary Johnson.
I don't mind an RNC chair being an insider - most of what they do is (or should be) inside baseball anyway. Wagner would be fine, Cino a bit sketchy (seems like a stealth candidate), Steele had a good opportunity and blew it, and Priebus seems the best of the bunch.
Gentry Collins of Iowa? I dunno, Iowa hasn't been lighting the world on fire lately.
That's not good enough for you?
I certainly doubt any of the other candidates you've mentioned could do that. Be just like when Ken Mehlman was lurking around.
Too many Republicans suffer from having low expectations, and then imagining their worst fears happened ~ even in the face of victory.
It will take some work to get used to winning ~ it's hard, but others have done it, and so can you.
