I’m here at the Gaylord Harbor Hotel in Maryland, where Republican National Committee members are starting to file into the ballroom for the third day of its winter meeting, which Chairman Steele just called to order. Today’s race for chairman won’t be decided until later in the day, because there are other matters on the schedule, and the actual election is expected to take multiple ballots — and most insiders say we won’t really get a sense of how things are going until after the third ballot. To win, a candidate must collect 85 votes — a majority of the 168 members.
I’ll be providing updates throughout the day on this blog, and via twitter at: twitter.com/philipaklein

Counting the Costs of Clintonism
The debacle of this president’s administration is both a cause and a symptom of the decline of American values. Unless Congress impeaches him, that decline will go on unchecked. An eminent jurist surveys the damage and assesses the chances for the recovery of our culture.

Good riddance to bad trash.
Now Steele can write his worthless 40 percent discounted memoirs.
Wayne | 1.14.11 @ 12:55PM
Well if Steele isn't one of those RINOS fooled by Obama's speech Wednesday, then I support him.
Bill Hussein O'Stalin| 1.14.11 @ 1:23PM
I would recommend they get someone who knows how to get things done.

So who is the next RINO in line to replace Michael Steele? I know "Snarlin' Arlen" my former Senaturd is available. He can bring along his mini-me Michael Smerconish too. It would be the RNC's first co-Chairmanship. They could be known as "The Fool & The Tool".
GeronL| 1.14.11 @ 1:51PM
From the list of candidates it seems there are nothing but RINO's. This Saul Anuzis guy is a lobbyist for Lithuania, a foreign government!! Geesh

I stopped donating to the RNC years ago.

Maybe Steele can write the next "War and Peace" or "Tale of Two Cities". You know. Something big. He could start it off with "It was the worst of times. It was the best of times. It was a pretty good time on the RNC dime. Now let's go to the strip club."
PattyMor| 1.14.11 @ 3:06PM
The problem with the RNC isn't solely with the leadership at the top. Its that they do NOT represent their base. They helped to pass DADT, START, only a two year tax rate extension bill loaded with pork, plus the 2% SS tax reduction, and the "food safety" bill. I refuse to give this bunch any of my money. Same goes to the range of "me too" hair-sprayed Prez. candidates: Pawlenty, Gingrich, Romney, or Huckabee.
