Reince Priebus has held onto his lead after three rounds of voting in the RNC chair race with 54 votes, but Ann Wagner, at 32 votes made the biggest move.

Michael Steele continues to bleed support, dropping to 33 votes, Marica Cino fell to 28, and Anuzis fell further back to 21.

At this point, the race appears to be down to Priebus and Wagner, and the big questions are who will drop out, and where will their support go?

Below is a chart of the movement between each round.

Priebus Steele Cino Anuzis Wagner
1st 45 44 32 24 23
2nd 52 37 30 22 27
3rd 54 33 28 21 32

Why are you overlooking the obvious pool of talent for chair of the RNC? You have:

Patriot, self anointed caped wonder of the western world.
Occam's Tool, thinks with his dick; potentially a vast improvement over what is common place at the far right.
Thomas Aquinas, patron saint of far right; direct line to God. Haven't had that since W.
Jack Bauer, Walter Mitty of the conservative movement; it's time for a dreamer.
Hugh BNYN, bat shit crazy; has paranoid conspiracy creds to meet the most demanding wing nut standards.
Tonypal, a lawyer; obviously not billing many hours. Has the time to do the job.

It's not too late.

Jared Loughner is that you?

Gary,
You can read their work here at AmSpec and they seem to enjoy a great deal of support.

Mike - you need a hobby. Perhaps philately?

Like you, Interested Conservative, but for different reasons, I find this site most amusing.

Steele just dropped out.
