Michael Steele at RNC Debate: 'My Record Stands for Itself -- We Won'
By Matt Lewis - Politics DailyFour of five candidates hoping to head the Republican National Committee said the RNC must do a better job of raising money for future get-out-the-vote programs during a debate Monday at the National Press Club in Washington, D.C. The fifth candidate -- incumbent RNC Chairman Michael Steele -- strongly disagreed. He argued the GOP's success in 2010 should earn him a second term on Jan. 14: "My record stands for itself: We won," Steele said.

RNC Chairman Race Could Hinge on Abortion; Steele Said to Lack Re-election Votes
By Matt Lewis - Politics DailyMonday at 1 p.m., candidates for the hotly contested RNC chairmanship will take part in a debate organized by Americans for Tax Reform (ATR) and the Daily Caller. (The event will take place at the National Press Club, but you can watch it live here.) Viewers are encouraged to submit questions, and one regarding the candidates' pro-life credentials is highly likely to come up. Among those hoping to oust the embattled Michael Steele is Maria Cino -- a behind-the-scenes GOP player who organized the party's 2008 national convention, has close ties to Speaker-elect John Boehner, and has been ...
Jacob Lew, Bill Clinton's Budget Brain, Returning to OMB Helm
By Alex Wagner - Politics DailyIn a message to her staff on Tuesday, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton called the departure of deputy secretary Jacob "Jack" Lew to become the new director of the Office of Management and Budget "obviously bittersweet." Lew, who previously held the OMB position under President Bill Clinton, is regarded as a talented, level-headed swami of the spreadsheet who oversaw an era of balanced budgets and surpluses -- ending his tenure $237 billion in the black. Press Secretary Robert Gibbs denied on Thursday that the White House, in hiring Lew, was trying to channel Clinton-era positive mojo for a ...
Health Care, the GOP, and the Consequences of Compromise
By Matt Lewis - Politics DailyAbandonment is one of the most effective, though least utilized, public relations techniques ever invented. It works like this: When your prospects for success are doomed, giving up is sometimes the most unpredictable – and devastating – thing you can do to your opponents. This technique appears to be playing out before our eyes. If, as now seems likely, Democrats abandon their prized "public option" on health care reform, the pressure will then shift to Republicans. Those in the minority party will then face their own internecine decisions whether to support a compromise, such ...
Ron Paul Supporters Stage Internet Coup Today
By David Knowles - Politics DailySay what you want about Ron Paul and his legion of tech-savvy supporters, but they do make the Republican party a whole lot more interesting to watch. Case in point? As Politico's Ben Stein reports, Paul-ites (the most commonly used term to describe Paul's followers) have recently flocked to a Digg-like webstie set up by the RNC and flooded it with questions for the debate between candidates for the Chairmanship of that distinguished, if not slightly demoralized, body. The implicit promise made at Americans for Tax Reform is that you, the public, will be allowed to submit questions to be asked ...
