I would see it more likely as you surmise,,
NRSC not the national party post or outpost,

it seems like a lot of work for one person,
especially when so much is at stake

Castro will be dead by '08 and the Cuban vote is going to be up for grabs then.

What happened to Michael Steel?  Or is Rover going to put him in the cabinett, as head of HUD?  "Cause ya know, he's black, so he probably knows his way around a project, right?"

If what I just wrote made you sad or angry,
it was probably just a joke.

Hahaha. Glad to see the Republicans are taking the right message from the election: The GOP drifted way too far to the right, alienating millions of moderate voters.

Not. The Republican party is a bunch of idiots.

No doubt -

....however unless the Reps start (and stick with) a strong move back toward conservative principles - i.e. that they campaign on and then fail to fulfill more often than not, they will also continue to suffer huge election losses...JMHO

DC, Quit messing around and go get Newt. Newt is inveitable now. He told the Old Boys Club they had to run on an agenda. He was right. So WHERE is Newt?

Martinez to become new RNC chief

WASHINGTON (CNN) -- Sen. Mel Martinez, a Florida Republican elected in 2004, has accepted an offer by the White House to become the new chairman of the Republican National Committee, three sources tell CNN.

Under the arrangement, Martinez will remain in office and serve as the party's lead spokesman as well as take a major role in fundraising and political outreach, while RNC General Counsel Robert (Mike) Duncan will oversee the committee's day-to-day responsibilities. Duncan is serving his fourth term as a RNC committeeman from Kentucky and was also elected the committee's Treasurer in Jan. 2001.

A trial lawyer and RINO? Don't think this is a good move...
