RNC's Duncan To Run For Re-Election
The Atlantic Politics Channel — It took a bantamweight's record since the election -- 3-0 -- to convince RNC chairman Mike Duncan to officially announce his re-election bid.

Duncan also brags that the RNC has assembled a 10 million person email list, about the size of Obama's. ...
