Priebus clinched the victory after seven rounds, securing 97 votes, more than the 85 required to win. Steele dropped out of the race after four rounds.

"At this time, I will step aside for others to lead," Steele told the168 RNC committee members at the Gaylord Resort in National Harbor, Md. "But in so doing, I hope y'all appreciate the legacy we leave. Despite the noise -- because lord know we had a lot of noise -- despite the difficulties, we won."

Reince Priebus

Good thing he wasn’t a write in and you had to get the spelling right. Congratulations, sir.

[fuzzybutt]

Is this guy a conservative or is he another RINO hack?
I have never heard of him before now.

[snowrip]

Senior RINO out, Junior RINO in.

Thank you for your service Chairman Steele.

You will always be remembered for “Drill, Baby, Drill”.

How is his name pronounced? Rinse Or Rinsay?

Can he raise money and fund / organize GOTV efforts? That was sorely lacking under Steele’s leadership and no doubt cost us seats this last election.

[Jim Noble]

The only question of any importance is, is he pro-Sarah?

[Clintonfatigued]

I’ve never heard of him.

[Fantasywriter]

I believe it’s ree-On-say.

[Ronaldus Magnus]

How is his name pronounced? Rinse Or Rinsay?

"RINESE" in one syllable for the whole name. Like Rinse but with a hard "I".

[Herbster]

But what about my question if pin stripes are still cool.
;O)

See ya Mike!

[Ronaldus Magnus]

Senior RINO out, Junior RINO in.

Do you have any evidence about the new RNC chair to back that up or do you just like going around making false accusations about people?

I thought Toyota made the Priebus.

How far will it get on it's tank of gas?
Does it leak?
Does the navigation have any directional heading?
Is the air overinflated in it?
Does this one have any horse power or will it be embarrassingly slow and ugly?

Here’s a little more background on him:

He’s just helped elect a conservative R Governor in WI and kicked Rusty Feingold to the curb, so be nice to the guy!

After all, we could be looking at another election with Michael Steele.

That depends on how much beer it has had to drink.

Does it leak?
See above.

Does the navigation have any directional heading?
See above.

Is the air overinflated in it?
See above. If it WAS beer ...

Does this one have any horse power or will it be embarrassingly slow and ugly?
Well, hopefully it will not be made of Steele.

[Stormdog]

“Priebus, chair of the Wisconsin Republican Party, is a staunch conservative”

Is it too soon to get my hopes up?

[Outlaw Woman]

Reading up on him: he’s a punk.

[A CA Guy]

May not be made of Steele, but let’s hope it isn’t full of $h#t as well.
