ps RNC chair selection now stages for who is able to run in 2012 with party support - so it is critical that we have someone in the race if at all possible!

 

[Matt Collins]

As long as it's not Saul Anuzaurs (or whatever his name is)

Saul Anuzis. I think the MI RPaulians made some peace with him, so let that die.

However, I would think that the head of the MI GOP should at least be somebody with a record of success. Michigan is a Democratic stronghold, and I don't see Saul has done much to turn that around.

If the chair of the GOP is to come from within, it should at least be somebody who managed to keep their state Republican.

 

[Badger Paul]

The fellow from Tennessee seems like a good choice. Although he's a Huckabee guys, he's young (40) and unlike a lot of Republicans knows his way around the interenet.

Is there a final list of who is running?

If you cant hold the ground in your state and win in tough times..then you have no business leading the nation to rebuild

Not necessarily. If you stay on message, but the message is something new to the people it will take time to solidify support. A pro individual liberty/responsibility message would take a long time and a lot of work in many states. I would be leery of someone who had a lot of success in politics in a short period of time. Success at one level doesn't necessarily mean success at another and vice versa.

Michael Steele is a moron.

Judging by their answers to the survey, any one of these jokers will continue along the losing path set by the current administration. (Why would Duncan want to keep that job?)

The only reason to support any of them is to promote their likely presidential favorite for 2012. If you like Mark Sanford, then Katon Dawson is your man. If you like Huckabee, then Saltsmann is your guy. We have two black candidates, one of which I've met (a story for another time), and they have no particularly distinguishing characteristics that make me think they'll be any more or less successful than the rest. Duncan? Well, we've seen the miracle he has wrought, for Obama. Certainly not all his fault, but if there's a place for the buck to stop, it should be a buck held with one hand by McCain and the other by Duncan as they slowly sink into an ice flow off the coast of nowheresville. (And an aside: Is there no shame anymore? Shouldn't McCain be falling on his sword and leaving public life with some dignity? Yeah, that's a joke. Where the heck would he scrape up some dignity.)

Anyway: After reading their answers, we should probably try to invent a party where moralizing for others would be frowned upon. And charity would be private. And we would live by the golden rule: tax others as you would want to be taxed yourself. We could call it the WWJD Party. And we could leave all that other stuff to the R party. Merry Holidays.
