The GOP’s winter meeting has re-elected Rence Priebus as party chair for the next 2 years. What might surprise you is that he ran unopposed. (Maine’s Republican National Committeeman, Mark Willis, could not collect enough support to launch a formal challenge.)
“The task before us now is charting our party’s future. We have an opportunity and responsibility to shape the GOP of the next generation,” Priebus said in a speech to RNC committee members following his re-election.”We must compete in every state and every region, building relationships with communities we haven’t before. At the RNC we are dropping ‘red’ and ‘blue’ analysis. We must be a party concerned about every American in every neighborhood. We must develop the best technology with the help of the best minds — and train activists, volunteers and candidates with the modern tools of a modern party.”

"What might you is that he ran unopposed."
Would it surprise you, Mr. Adams, if I pointed out that I think you left out surprise? Fortunately, you can edit your posts.

Beat me to it! Thank you kindly, sir. It could have been many other words, however: shock, amaze, confound, thrill... ?

Since you did use surprise (amongst the variety of choices), I suppose technically that I am now a contributor to TAS and The Spectacle Blog.
Please tell Mr. Tyrell to scribble on the back of the check, and sign it over to the Foundation.

I understand the RNC has a problem with consultants which they must correct immediately.
One thing is for sure is that much of the Romney campaign and supporting PACs were too focused on TV commercials and throw-away pamphlets while the Obama Democrat team was focused on person to person contact. Who listens to commercials these days and we are all overburdened with junk mail. Its time to concentrate political efforts on person to person contact, and it would be really good if the GOP could clearly set forth a believable set for core values and objectives. They need to follow through on what they promise and be specific about what actions they would take if elected.

Priebus is becoming a bigger assclown than Michael Steele. It is truly shocking that not a single person in the entire Republican party saw fit to at least mount a challenge.

Every piece of RNC mail I received after the first worthless one went directly into the trash without reading in favor of donations to selected PACs targeting candidates other than those supported by the GOP establishment. Until the RNC wakes up, this will continue.

Rence Priebus wants to drive the party further to the Left. This is the guy who ran a convention where the disgraced Condi Rice and anchorbaby Rubio were featured speakers, but the embodiment of the white Protestant Republican base, Sarah Palin, didn't even get an invite.
Republicans lost because they chased their base away and this guy wants to chase even more of the base away.
