Forget the Steelers, Because GOP Sex Symbol Michael Steele Is America's Champion
By Ken Layne - Politics DailyAmerica's vast losing class wasted Sunday in a corn syrup/Bud Lite stupor while ordering Pizza Hut chicken wings off their foreclosed neighbor's Discover card and watching some dull televised contest between heavily-padded hired slobs, but the real Super Bowl was on Friday -- an epic battle between Americans and the Muslim world, settled after six ballots when the nation's first African-American former lieutenant governor from Maryland hit a "home run" and became chairman of the Republican Party.Yes We Can!Michael Steele, a black person the Republicans found somewhere, was elected leader of ...

Republican Candidates Clash Over Who Hates Gays the Most
By Dylan and Ethan Ris - Politics DailyToday is election day for the Republican Party. One of six highly entertaining candidates will soon be named the next party chairman, hoping to do for the GOP what Jim Clymer has done for the Constitution Party.[Update: There are now only five candidates for the post. Former Tennessee party chairman Chip Saltsman has dropped out for the unpardonable sin of e-mailing hippie music to Republicans.]But it turns out that there's a transgression out there that's even worse than Saltsman's. Rumor has it - and by "rumor" we mean Michigan GOP chairman Saul Anuzis, a candidate for the job - that ...

Chip Saltsman Withdraws from RNC Chair Race
By Matt Lewis - Politics DailyHis statement: Since November's election, I've had the remarkable opportunity to travel throughout thirty two states, share my vision for the future of our party, and listen to the advice of the nearly one hundred members who took the time to visit with me in their homes, their offices, their airports, and their coffee shops. I've seen how the Clark County Republicans of Nevada are organizing online to defeat Harry Reid in 2010, as we defeated Tom Daschle in 2002. I've heard how Republicans in the District of Columbia have expanded their membership simply by holding their meetings and ...
Shrinking Fast, GOP Now the Party of Rush Limbaugh, Sarah Palin and 'No!'
By David Knowles - Politics DailyA curious thing has happened to the Republican Party in the wake of its resounding defeat in the November elections. Rather than recalibrate and update its message to meet the challenges of the troubled times in which we live, it has decided to double-down on the philosophical bets that led to its recent losses. No greater evidence this bunker mentality can be found than in the de facto anointment of Rush Limbaugh to the ceremonial post of party king. If it sounds far-fetched that a firebrand talk-show host actually wields this much power, consider the recent about face of the one Republican ...
RNC Race: Radical Reformers vs. The Establishment
By Matt Lewis - Politics DailyThis Friday, the Republican National Committee is scheduled to elect a new Chairman. I've written before about how important this office is, especially considering that the Republicans control neither the White House or the Congress, but I haven't talked much about what the results will say about the direction of the party. The six men running offer different programs, but they are also offering different viewpoints on the state of the the party and what pieces of it need fixed. And their election would also send different messages to the public. On one end of the spectrum, you have people ...
