Sununu for RNC Chairman?

John Sununu will no longer be a U.S. Senator come January after having lost his re-election bid against former New Hampshire Gov. Jeanne Shaheen on November 4th. But he might be the Chairman of the Republican National Committee if some of his supporters have anything to say about it.

A group of Republican officials and operatives plan to launch a Draft Sununu for RNC Chairman committee as early as Friday, two Republican sources tell Now! Hampshire. The sources asked to remain anonymous.

The leaders of the effort are not affiliated with the remnants of Sununu’s unsuccessful reelection campaign.

If the plan goes forward it would not be the first time Sununu was pressed into service. He was drafted to run against incumbent Senator Bob Smith in the Republican primary while serving as a congressman in 2002. He won that primary and proceeded to win the senate seat.

Not everyone is sold on the idea, however. One former Republican official familiar with the way chairmen are elected told Now! Hampshire, “It’s f--king crazy. While it would be a brilliant move, there is NO WAY IN HELL that the ‘Members’ will go for someone outside the Committee when we don’t have the White House.”

Republicans will elect a new Chairman of the Republican National Committee in January.

We need some who can take on Howard Dean and Rahm Emanuel.

I nominate Triple H.

I’m kind of getting tired of the same old names and faces who’ve sold us down the river for years.

[Terpfen]

Got a link? There are some wackos I want to torture.

[nickcarraway]

You really want the man who saved Clinton to lead the RNC? Look, I am not unforgiving, but Gingrich should NEVER be given leadership in the GOP again. Fool me once shame on you, fool me twice...

Tom Delay

The media would type till their fingers were bloody stubs. Some of them might not survive. Newt and the Hammer. We need to start a petition.

[Terpfen]

As long as he can raise money for and recruit capable conservatives, who gives a rat’s rear?

GOP? Sununnu?

Still stuck on stupid.

It’s time for conservatives to move on.A new start. a new party. If Newt wants to come along, fine. But this is not fixable from the inside.

Ask yourself one question: Who is the leader of the Republican Party?

Take your time.

[RushingWater]

Is this the same Sununu that gave us Souter?

[I got the rope]

Tom Delay!

[BlueNgold]

So, we sell our souls for fund raising?
Have we learned nothing?
No thank you.

[nickcarraway]

No, it was his father, Warren Rudman, and McCain.

[Thunder90]

Just say NO to RINO's...

[TheZMan]

I simply don't understand everyone cheering for Newt to lead up the RNC.

Newt is a global warming nutball that needs to go away with all the other RINOs.

For all the cries of cleaning up the republican party and returning it to conservative principles we sure do seem to want to keep this old codger around.

[billorites]

Newt? In a position of responsibility?

That's when I tear up my Pubbie registration card and whiz on Reagan's photo.

Newt is the most unattractive and hideous Republican ever born. He makes Richard Nixon look like John Boy Walton.

Sununu is smart, articulate and has to date managed to keep his trousers zipped.

Good lord, why won't Newt go away?

He's an awful man. His loved ones hate him.

[jmj3jude]

You got to be kidding. NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO and did I mention absolutely NO!!!!!!!!

[uptoolate]

shhh. I have to be quiet here. If the Fairness Doctrine is implemented, then I nominate Rush, since he'll need sumptin' to do.

[SeafoodGumbo]

Hell no! We need NEW leadership, not the same old. We need a firebrand, someone who takes no prisoners when defining and defending conservatism. We need someone to inspire the base. And especially, we need someone from either the South, West or Southwest, or Alaska. Enough with these East-Coast types.

Thought your comment deserved repeating...a little louder.

[billorites]

"How about a conservative?"

Sorry, you posted to the wrong thread.

We're speculating about Republican chairs.
