Six Remaining Republicans All Running for Chairman

The Republican Party is in an unusual position this year, having lost the presidency, both houses of Congress, the majority of state governors, 4/5 of "The View" cast, Charles Barkley, Rudy Giuliani's daughter, and probably everyone who's ever met Mitt Romney.

As for the nation's six remaining Republicans... well, it turns out they're all running for party chairman! As the winner could be announced as soon as today, let's meet these contenders, and predict which of them will earn the charge to emulate their fine predecessor, Mel Martinez.

Name	Pros	Cons	Odds
Mike Duncan incumbent	Under his watch, McCain won Utah, Idaho and Oklahoma!	Putting "Personal Shopper for Sarah Palin" on his resumé was a big no-no.	0 : 1
Saul Anuzis Michigan GOP Chairman	Name recognition.	As the Michigan GOP chairman, he's about to lose his job to a Chinese sweatshop's GOP chairman.	7 : 1
Katon Dawson South Carolina GOP Chairman	Has the most classically Republican name in the field. One that must be a big hit at the whites-only country club he used to frequent.	Since he's representing, among others, Miss South Carolina, his platform calls for distributing maps to people who don't know about "South Africa and the Iraq everywhere like such as and."	1861 : 1
Michael Steele former Maryland Lt. Governor	As an African-American, would bring much needed diversity to the GOP leadership.	What does it tell the nation when a one-term former Lieutenant Governor is - by far - the most prominent minority your party can offer?	9 : 1
J. Kenneth Blackwell former Ohio Secretary of State	As an African-American, would bring much needed self-hatred to the GOP leadership.	Dishonest secretaries of state who steal elections for George W. Bush don't last long in politics. Just ask Katherine Harris.	8 : 1
Chip Saltsman former Tennesse GOP Chairman	His physical resemblance to George Allen will inspire the anti-Macaca wing of the Republican Party.	By disseminating a song called "Barack the Magic Negro," Saltsman drew focus to a relic of America's past that the GOP has pledged to disavow... Peter, Paul & Mary. Also, he dropped out last night.	Separate : Equal 0
