Republican National Committee (RNC) Chairman Mike Duncan believes Republicans can beat either of the two top Democrats racing for their party’s nomination.
For Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton (N.Y.), Duncan says it comes down to trust. Sen. Barack Obama’s (Ill.) weakness, on the other hand, is his experience, according to Duncan.
Duncan continually brought up Clinton and Obama during a Wednesday morning breakfast with reporters sponsored by The Christian Science Monitor. Pointing to internal poll numbers, the RNC chairman repeatedly insisted that no matter who Republicans nominate, the Democratic candidate can be defeated in November.

Well, first let’s have candidates that aren’t frickin’ RINOs....
UNNNGH!!

“Meet the New Mike Duncan”
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1738373/posts
Some background on him. But I can’t say that he has impressed me so far. In fact, I didn’t even know he was head of the RNC. I thought it was still Mel Martinez, but I just checked, and now I see that Mel resigned last October.
Well, good riddance. But the new head of the RNC has certainly kept a very low profile.
Too late.
Duncan needs to step away from the crack pipe and wake up from his drug induced slumber.
He won't win jack by putting up RINOs/CINOs and alienating the base.
Yeah, right.
Good luck doing without millions from the Conservative base who won't vote for your RINOs anymore.
Duncan isn’t putting up anyone, not a RINO nor CINO.
We have these factors called...voters....and Mike Duncan can think whatever he wishes to think, at the end of the day, he has to work with what...voters...give him to work with.
It’s a smart play on his part saying that we can beat either Hilde or Barry, we can, “we” need a candidate who can rally people to him, we don’t have that yet.
But, but, the “Internal Polls” told Mr Duncan it’s so.../sarc off
If you think the the party heads(plural) don’t have any say or sway in who gets support/the nod, or not; you are sadly delusional.
Our party is in panic (despite the public facade). Money down and volunteers down due to party as whole being weak on illegal immigration, lack of fisal conservatism, etc. Lack of Indians but plenty of chiefs (county club flip flop candidates that have the no initial cash to launch campaigns but not the core to inspire a strong base).
So, the GOP will probably lose this election badly and just blame it on Bush (and go with the same RINO strategy in 2010 and 2012).
Forget that already. We all need to get over it. There is a universal divide between our "RINOs" and their "candidates." None of our RINOs are straight out America hating traitors, for a start.
Too bad, the last non-RINO just left the building.... we're stuck with sub-Bob Dole candidates this year.
So the RNC is bankrolling the current group of Candidates?
Paying out of pocket for Mitt, or Rudy or Huck?
They are all broke and have been broke for a long time.
Duncan could say he hated any one of them, and there would be nothing he could do because Hunter and Thompson were not the choices of the voters, his hands are tied.
Apparently, these folks want Hilde or Bary to win the Presidency, then the moaning will begin in earnest...
In some ways, I think it would clarify things, Conservatives have gotten lazy, a Hillary wake up call may do the trick.
At least Barbour was visible, this guy is probably only useful for moving chairs.
Today I quit the GOP.
By the way, just yesterday Mr. Duncan was nice enough to send me a rather large fold out “Stop Hillary” sign for me to display on my property. Of course a monetary donation was expected in return. He thought I should donate to the GOP to stop Hillary, not because of the qualifications of the present lineup of RINO’s. I kept the sign.
Oh, please don't say that. I'll hold my nose and vote for the Republican candidate. Let the voters sort it out first, though.
