The chair is elected by the 168 Republican National Committee members and the election is slated to take place on January 28th. The current list of candidates is incumbent Mike Duncan, Saul Anuzis, Ken Blackwell, Katon Dawson, Chip Saltsman, and Michael Steele. Hopefully whoever is elected will work hard and successfully rebuild the party in time for the midterm elections. We need a chairman who can raise money and create a strategy that engages and builds the grassroots while using new technology, and developing more useful technology.
If you are interested in my thoughts on the race for RNC chair you can read an article I wrote earlier relating to the RNC Chair race. Hopefully the committee members make a wise choice on behalf of the party.
What do you think about the race? Please vote in my poll which will be up till the new chair is chosen, and comment and let everyone know who you support and why.
