MELTDOWN: Wisconsin GOP Chair’s RNC Bid Destroyed by Stimulus Scandal

Wisconsin Republican Party chairman Reince Priebus was, until tonight, a contender to replace Michael Steele as chairman for the Republican National Committee. But Priebus’s evident involvement in soliciting federal stimulus funds for his law firm’s clients emerged Tuesday as a scandal that will likely destroy whatever chance he had, as Dan Riehl explains at Big Government: […]

Steele to Step Aside at RNC
UPDATE: New Report Says Steele Will Seek Another Term as RNC Chair

UPDATE 5:38 p.m.: Guess somebody guessed wrong: Controversial Republican National Committee Chairman Michael Steele, who last month presided over the GOP’s biggest electoral gains since 1938, will announce tonight that he is running for re-election, Fox News has learned from two RNC members.

Maria Cino Unacceptable at RNC

After the news today that Michael Steele will step aside as RNC chairman, a friend called to warn me about Maria Cino, the GOP Establishment’s choice to replace Steele. My friend says Cino has ties to pro-abortion groups. Dan Riehl has documented Cino’s other problems: Her lobbying for Obamacare on behalf of Pfizer and a […]

Democrats Reward Failure

Of course, that’s the principle of their social-welfare policies, but who thought they’d apply it to politics? Rep.

You’re no Reagan.” Well. There is much to mock […]

Lame-Duck Filibuster!

Proving my saying that “gridlock is our only hope,” Mitch McConnell throws a 42-vote Republican filibuster into the path of Democrats’ lame-duck agenda (see McConnell and Jon Kyl’s letter to Harry Reid in PDF format) unless Democrats permit a vote to extend the Bush tax cuts. Jennifer Rubin from her new WaPo blog: Liberals scream “obstruction!,” but think about […]

The Endless Delaware Post-Mortem

The day after the Delaware primary, I asked, “Is this really about 2012?” It seemed to me that many ruling-class Republicans — especially those aboard the Mitt Romney 2012 bandwagon — were attacking Christine O’Donnell as a proxy for Sarah Palin.
