I think Palin would be good here - she is effectively doing the job right now.
That job is all about courting donors and serving as a spokesperson--Palin can't do it because she's too divisive. The old guard R's (people with the money) can't stand her, and I don't think she can moderate her personal viewpoints to speak for the party as a whole. Palin appeals to her tea party base--period.
Interesting. I was proud of him for his accomplishments, but ultimately, i don't give a damn because i'm not a Republican and couldn't possibly care less who their chairman is.
I don't think it really makes a lot of difference regardles of your party, who the chairman is of that party.
I knew this two years ago. The only reason he was ever there was because Obama won the election. If not for that he would have stayed in the back of the room and he knows it. He is a joke trying to belong to the republican in crowd.
opinion sir and that is all it is, do you have anything to back up your claim?

Reason: Please keep to the topic.
I don't think its fair to say Steele was a token. On the other hand I do think the fact the other finalist (Katon Dawson) was who he was may have played a role. I don't think it would have looked that good for the GOP if in response to the first African American President being elected, their chairman was a former supporter of Segregation from South Carolina who was a member until 2008 of a country club that banned anyone that wasn't white.
