GOP Chairman Michael Steele has stepped in it again, and this time the masses are out for blood.
But if Steele leaves, who takes his place?
How about Sarah Palin:
This is a job for Sarah Palin. Palin would be a much better RNC chairman than presidential candidate or freelance kingmaker. She’d raise tons of money and help recruit good candidates, i.e., she’d excel at doing the things Steele should have been doing instead of appointing himself Republican pundit-at-large.
A Chairman Palin would help set the right tone for the Republican party without having to get herself entangled in the minutiae of policy-development, which has not been her forte. Sure, she’d be polarizing, but so is Barack Obama, and these are polarized times.
Another question is, would Palin do it? I don’t know if she would or not. Where she is right now, she can pick and choose who to go endorse and who to leave flapping in the wind.
I mean, how long ago was this:
Former Alaska GOP Gov. Sarah Palin on Thursday endorsed Conservative Party nominee Doug Hoffman over Dede Scozzafava, the Republican Party’s choice, in the special election for New York’s 23rd congressional district.
“The people of the 23rd Congressional District of New York are ready to shake things up, and Doug Hoffman is coming on strong as Election Day approaches! He needs our help now,” Palin wrote in a statement that will be posted on her Facebook page late Thursday.
I don’t think Chairman Palin would have endorsed the conservative candidate over the establishment GOP’s hand picked nominee.
Sarah’s fine where she is. She’s had some questionable calls lately (cough, Fiorina, cough), but she would be restricted to who she could endorse and probably wouldn’t be able to highlight more conservative candidates in primaries.
If I had to pick a spokesman to replace the trainwreck Steele has become, I think I’d go with Newt.
What do you think of that?
