An Idea for the RNC: Dump Michael Steele, Hire Sarah Palin
National Review ^ | 07/03/2010 | Kevin Williamson

Posted on 07/03/2010 7:22:33 PM PDT by SeekAndFind

Re: Steele and the RNC: Allow me to chime in with my usual observation on this subject: This is a job for Sarah Palin. Palin would be a much better RNC chairman than presidential candidate or freelance kingmaker. She'd raise tons of money and help recruit good candidates, i.e., she'd excel at doing the things Steele should have been doing instead of appointing himself Republican pundit-at-large.

A Chairman Palin would help set the right tone for the Republican party without having to get herself entangled in the minutiae of policy-development, which has not been her forte. Sure, she'd be polarizing, but so is Barack Obama, and these are polarized times. And it's one thing to have a polarizing party chairman, another to have a polarizing candidate.

Anybody disagree?

That would be SO COOL! Maybe not the best idea before November? But would I ever love to see Sarah as head!

Sarah has more important things to do - now and, hopefully in 2012.

There are plenty of other candidates for the RNC chair who aren’t idiots like Steele.

I just remembered Sarah has absolutely no use for the RNC. She has told them repeatedly to remove her name from fundraisers and such. The lasted being at the SRLC this year. She ask privately no dice then it went public and ended up in Politico as news.

If Sarah is going to work with the RNC it’s going to be strictly on the state and local level. The only national republican organization Sarah works with is the RGA

Not a bad idea. Might motivate some rinos to move on to greener pastures.

Sarah Palin would have to be insane to take that job. She isn't insane.

Steele may be the worst of the worst, though. Dumping him would be a good start.

This should of been done already! All of the RINOS continue to profoundly damage the entire GOP!

I see the writers comments as more insults against Palin, dealt from the bottom of the deck.

So no, I don’t agree.

If Palin runs, I think she already is, she will win and become the next REAL President of the United States.

National Review has turned RINO on us. I think this is just their way of trying to remove her from other possibilities.

Remember that almost all of them lined up early behind Mitt Romney last time around.

Pffffftt. Won't happen; Sarah's simply too intelligent to be caught by such an obvious (and poorly baited) trap, hastily dug and inadequately camouflaged by the Kathryn Jean "OOOOOoooh Mittens is sooooo DREEEEAAAAMY" Lopez wing of the party.

Swing and a miss, Mittbots. ;)

Steele absolutely, positively MUST GO. Period.

Sarah would be great, but I don’t see her getting (or even wanting) the job.

Sarah Palin as RNC Chairman...IOW, sit down and shut up, Beltway style.

No thanks, Mitt. Nice try, though, to get her out of the picture for 2012. Why don't you take the job, Mitt? It's perfect for you.

What’s new—the National Review being patronizing to Gov. Palin again? “Policy is hard”—so I suppose that and running for president should be left to the big boys, like Mitt Romney?

Palin would be good at it I expect, just like she was good at being governor and writing a best-seller and pulling ratings as a political analyst—and being the best counter-weight we have to Obama getting his agenda passed. But she’s also the best natural politician and political executive we’ve had since Reagan, and I’m tired of the National Review trying to diminish her.

Sarah or Newt or Alan Keyes.

Newt is an old-style machine politician.
