It seems deals are standard fare at this event. I guess the question becomes what and to whom did the eventual winner Reince Priebus offer.
If you look at who we elected in Wisconsin this year, you will see a ‘tea party’ senator in Ron Johnson, two new conservative Congressmen in Ribble and Sean Duffy. Throw in the most conservative Governor in my lifetime in Scott Walker and a switch in the State House and Senate, and I do not think anybody should doubt where Reince’s ideology is. Reince recruited a lot of those conservative candidates that won Wisconsin state House and Senate races this year.
He is not really a Washington DC insider, as evidenced by Boehner endorsing Cino. He will be light years better than Steele, and I think will bring integrity back to the RNC. He is not the most polished TV presence, but have no doubt he is a genuine, midwestern values, hard working outsider.
