I live in Wisconsin and whether he'll be perfect or not is always up for discussion, but in our state, we tossed out Russ Feingold (the bed wettingest liberal in the senate), we tossed out Steve Kagan (the Green Bay area congressional district), a Republican took over Dave Obey's seat, which he had held for 40 years, we took the Governorship, we took the state senate back and took the assembly back. All in all, I'd say Reince Priebus did a magnificent job.

Certainly some of the Republicans will be RINOs, but for a state that had leaned left for the past 10 - 12 years, we have really changed our direction in a good way.

Seems like the best option of the group. Cina sure got some serious support from big names (some good, some RINO), but PRiebus seems like a better option all around. Certainly, we can’t ignore the massive success of the GOP in Wisconsin in November. They had as much success as anyone, flipping a blue state to very red.

Well, now he’ll buckle down to getting Haley Barbour nominated as candidate for POTUS. That’s his main job: Making sure another inside operator gets the nomination.

In a previous discussion here someone mentioned that Reince Priebus is a fairness doctrine supporter, haven’t been able to find any links...any truth to that?

Once Michael Steele told the delegates to vote for Cino I figured she was doomed. (am I allowed to use that vitriolic word?)

I hope he can do well for the RNC but time will tell. I don’t know if we can all afford the reelection of Obama/Biden.

Excellent leftist.

GOP is done :

It seems fair to ask, when one uses standard liberal catch-phrasing, volunteers for an organization like the NAACP, becomes party to an eminent domain lawsuit to take property from a small business on behalf of the government and is linked to the solicitation of government stimulus funding, just how conservative is said individual?

Given that the individual in question is Reince Priebus, currently seeking the RNC Chairmanship and talking like a conservative, how is it that he seems to have so walked the walk of a typical liberal over the years?

This was only ten years ago, after all. Certainly, there’s nothing wrong with exposing oneself to different peoples and locations and I’m all for the Republican Party reaching out more to minority communities. But whether we do that as stock-in-trade liberals, or present a genuine conservative alternative to the liberal policies of Democrats makes a big difference. So, when one invokes stock phrases like diversity and aligns himself with the NAACP, just what kind of outreach is it Reince Priebus had in mind by attending the University of Miami? Or, just as he talks the talk of conservatism now, is he more a chameleon who says what he has to say to be popular at the time? That’s hardly the type of principled leadership needed for the RNC, especially at such a pivotal time in American history in which the Right and Left are battling to determine the future course of the nation.

In addition to reputation and placement record, Reince chose Miami because he wanted the opportunity to experience living in a diverse community … He was also a law clerk for the NAACP Legal Defense Fund in Los Angeles the summer before his third year.

That would be the same NAACP, by the way, that recently tried to malign the tea party movement as racist. Going from the NAACP to the RNC is quite a leap in ten short years. And the years in between weren’t very conservative, either. As recently as 2003, Reince Priebus was using his legal skills to confiscate land from a small business through the power of eminent domain.
