And the RNC crown goes to…Michael Steele
pandagon.net - we are the public option —

The Republicans did decide to go with some leadership color for window dressing—to try to rebuild a party with a base of aging, white, undereducated bigots. Mr. Steele has a big job ahead. I almost feel sorry for him.

RNC scraps plans to develop a policy think tank.
Think Progress —
Last December, the Republican National Committee announced plans to build a “new, in-house think tank aimed at reviving the party’s policy heft.” Former RNC Chairman Mike Duncan wrote a memo to RNC Committee Members explaining the concept behind the so-called “Center for Republican Renewal.” “The Republican Party must not cede the policy field to the Democrats,” he wrote. “The Center for Republican Renewal will be dedicated to that proposition.” Greg Sargent reports that the GOP think tank was a short-lived concept:
The Republican National Committee, under new chairman Michael Steele, has quietly killed an ambitious ...
