Sure, he's got the fire; probably even the beliefs; but without extensive party contacts who's he going to pop into the patronage jobs?

He'll only get that chance to appoint good people if those who have them on hand get to sit down and talk with him.

That means TEAParty folks, members of state legislatures, Republican Governors, Republican Representatives ~ especially those who are newly elected.
