"Liberals and RINOs are a threat to national security."

Actually my reason for thinking Palin would be a good idea to head the RNC is because that position holds more power than most of us realize. The national party organization are the kingmakers and that power center is often supporting candidates that are rinos - to the detriment of the whole structure. They put forward these bad candidates and what can you do then? I fear they don’t get it - and will put forward untenable candidates - I still wince when I think of how the RNC put forward Bob Dole! Nice guy, but not someone who was for limited government.
If you flush rino’s out of the rnc it would make the biggest impact for the future, and for all of us imho.
"Liberals and RINOs are a threat to national security."
Palin should be RNC chairman because she can fire up the base and raise a ton of money, and most importantly, she would get the RNC out of the unsavory business of supporting RINOs in primaries.
On the other hand, if Palin ran against 0bama for president, 0bama would be a 2 term president. That is all the reason I need to consider it a very bad idea. I would think it is the anti-Constitution subversives who want Palin to run, so 0bama can continue to subvert the Constitution for another 4 years.
Exactly right...many close races that were lost probably could have been won with an adequately funded GOTV ground game but there was no money due to pitiful fundraising by Steele. We're fortunate that so many of our voters were more self motivated this time around that we ended up having a good election night anyway...but how much better it could have been...so many races lost by just small amounts.
We don’t need a kingmaker organization.
We need candidates to rise on their individual merits.
Like Palin has done.
The anti-Constitution subversives will do anything to keep her out of the White House.
You don’t fire up the base or raise money with an RNC chairman. You do it with the right presidential candidate.
“I would think it is the anti-Constitution subversives who want Palin to run”
But pro-Constitution patriots know Palin is the best for the job. This tells us they are the ones supporting her candidacy.
With Palin, we have everything we need. Anti-Constitution subversives have only Alinsky tactics. (Have you been privy to the particular foolishness of Alinsky?)
I like DeMint but it’s saying nothing to say Steele coulda done a better job. You can say that about anyone, including DeMint. Plus, ground game is largely a local matter. Quick: Name the greatest ground game RNC chairman ever and how he did it.
Ed Gillespie.
DeMint would be perfect for NRSC chairman.
Cornyn is another failure who needs the boot from his post ASAP.
I think Sarah should take the job starting tomorrow! Fire that useless POS, Steele!
Well, Gillespie did a decent job getting incumbents re-elected but I don’t see that he was any better at “ground game” then Steele. In fact, Gillespie was involved in Allen’s losing run in Virginia.
I just can’t buy into the idea that coming off the greatest off-year win in decades, the head of the party who won it lacked “ground game.” Besides which, “ground game” is code speak for bribing people to vote—at least, in the context that Democrats do it.
If DeMint knows what specifically would help Republican “ground game” (walking around money?, busing in voters from Mexico City?) he should just say what it is. I’m not disputing that it can be better, just that someone other than Steele will be automatically better at it.
Thanks for posting, the article.
>>imangine how much better she would be after 4 or 8 years as VP.
Rest assured, if she got the nod in 2012, I would vote for her in a minute.<<
I wonder how many years she wants to devote to gaining the Office of President. She has nice family that I’d expect mean a lot to her.
How do we guarantee that the next RNC Chairman will perform better than Michael Steele?
Steele’s 2 years is not really that BAD except for the gaffes.
BUT ONE THING IS CERTAIN ABOUT STEELE: RNC HAS BEEN FAIR. ARE THEY REVAMPING RNC BECAUSE THEY WANT SOMEBODY “IMPORTANT” IN?
It’s the NRSC and NRCC which require FULL REVAMP!
I don’t understand the hate for Palin from so many, and because of this she is unelectable.
But as Chair… ‘Perfect Fit’
WRONG.
THE REPUBLICAN NOMINEE (PALIN OR NOT) WILL BE SAVAGED AND CHARACTER ASSASSINATED IN THE NEXT PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION.
We have been through this.
WE NEED A “REAL FIGHTER” IN THE NEXT CAMPAIGN ... not a pandering nominee!
In fact, this is the main advantage of Palin.
SHE HAS BEEN ASSASSINATED ALREADY. Her job and our job if she’s the nominee is to clean out the dirt spewed by liberals and RINOs.
We still do not know how the liberal media and the DNC will destroy other potential candidates. AND THAT’S DANGEROUS!
Remember: DNC last month has already requested the FOIA files of all potential Republican nominees ... for what? OF COURSE OF DESIGNING THE SLAUGHTERING OF ANY NOMINEE!
Going off your criteria, it seems you have no idea what the RNC Chairman does. You’re describing a press secretary, not the executive in charge of shaping election tactics.
