Matt Lewis: RNC Chair Race: Lay Of The Land...
Townhall.com Blog's TownHall Blog — Chris Cillizza has a very good "lay of the land" piece out on the RNC Chair Race . I'd recommend reading it if you are interested in this contest for the future of the GOP. Here's my take on the candidates Cillizza mentions... - Mike Duncan : (Current RNC Chair) -- Regardless of how good he is, I cannot fathom why anyone would want to stick with a Bush loyalist who ran the RNC these last several years. It just defies logic. - Michael Steele : (Former MD Lt. Gov) -- As I have noted before, Steele would be a terrific spokesman for the RNC. He is charismatic and has plenty of TV experience. My concerns about him regard his conservatism, his ...

Blogometer — November 25, 2008 11/25: Judging Obama By The Company He Keeps Liberal bloggers continue to discuss the apparent lack of progressives in Pres.-elect Barack Obama 's cabinet.

Aside from his political celebrity — and knack for being a good talking head — there’s little else about the man that would make him a good chairman. While much has been written about his candidacy and the reasons conservatives should be skeptical, time is running out to convince the 168 members of the RNC they should steer clear of him. Here’s why: Steele boasts that his chairmanship of GOPAC ...

Consultants Who Helped Steele Got RNC Contracts
Politics Daily — Filed under: Republicans, MediaDuring the RNC Chairman's race, I was the first to raise the issue of Michael Steele's many consultants -- and the likelihood that they would be granted RNC contracts. Marc Ambinder has posted FEC data showing that (as I predicted) Steele did, in fact, give RNC contracts to his campaign consultants. That, of course, was to be expected. The numbers -- so far -- aren't terribly shocking (though some might think $30K to one consultant for three months of staff consulting is generous) -- but it will be interesting to see how things look when all the NY-20 ...
