Just breaking.

I'm almost certain, he is temporary and nearly as certain that Michael Steele is going to get a cabinet postion so he will look good for a VP choice.
I was plenty close to voting CP in 2004. When he actually issued a press release about the Bush twins' speech at the RNC, I decided I wouldn't give my vote to someone like that.
I didn't stay home.
That would make more sence
Not that I'm thrilled .. but it makes senses
If Duncan is so good (and I am not saying he isn't)...why didn't they just name HIM RNC Chairman then??
Michael Steele was personable for sure but he also was quite public in his displeasure with President Bush and current Republican policy.
The job description is to sell the Republican party and that includes the President.
He was not qualified for that position. A Cabinet position, possible HUD is better suited.
Meanwhile ACU gives Mel Martinez a 100% rating.

I don't see the problem
Yea, I do know what Ken Mehlman thinks about it and that is the problem.
Carolyn, have you heard how many of these are from Dist 5 ?
The fix is in.
I am with you that it is not the conservative credentials as he is aligned with my two Oklahoma Senators, it is the fact he is a sitting Senator and I wouldn't think would have the time.
Nor did I..... or my husband or our friends and we all voted R.... I don't like feeling like no one is listening to us and just taking us for granted.
Mine, too!
I just sent an email to the WhiteHouse telling him, how baffled I am by this appointment and asking him if he was now wanting his "4th brother's" wife as the next president?
I concluded the letter with a simple truth, this email was the first I have ever sent to the WH that was NOT an email of praise and that I have completely and totally supported and defended him and the WH for six unwavering years, but now, even I am beginning to ask, "What the hell are you thinking?!?"
You all need to get it into your heads that the Republican Party has GOT to appeal to Hispanic voters or it is DONE as a majority party within the next 10 years. President Bush and Karl Rove are not going to give up on this. The GOP will not survive as a party of angry white Southern married Christians. Mel Martinez now becomes the first minority to head a major political party, and he is not a "token" appointee because he has won an election with 5 million people voting for him in a very big state. It's a great move.
Nor I. But at least one conservative talk show host said he didn't care if the dems took over the senate. Now we have reaped what has been sown for the past few years. Endless bashing, trashing and criticizing. It's enough to turn voters away from our side. Nothing positive all negative all the time.
BTW... where is HAGEL?... Is he still alive? LOL... He must getting ready to announce he is running for president as well... Boy what Dud.. :)
It is RNC which makes little sense. At least the person who will run things on a day to day basis is very good. Still don't think a sitting Senator should head RNC.
The way they said it on the noon news was the 185,000 were all in Hayworth's district with the balance being 5500 votes.
That wasn't necessary.
I am sure he is a fine Senator - but I have no data that indicates he combines these qualities.
Regards, Ivan
