Michael Steele: The Republican's Obama? Black is the new White?

yap; lot of room for talk. Chicago gutter politics clowns. Have a good day.

There is a soon-to-be x-Ill. governor that would be just PERFECT for this position. As we float our scum out of the [D] party, I'm sure they will find refuge somewhere……

All you neo-tards, yes PLEASE re-elect this looser to head the RNC.

Or, if not Duncan, how about Joe the Plumber? Afterall, Joe now dislikes McCain and thinks Palin is "absolutely the real deal", as do so many of the rightwing's disillusioned. He's also proven that he has the vacuous rightwing talking points down pat. Who else could complain that Obama's tax plan would raise his taxes,…. IF his salary were to miraculously jump by a factor of 6! In the current economy that his rightwing bretheren foisted on all of us, he should worry more that his salary will DROP by a factor of 6. LMAO!! This kind of delusional thinking is exactly what it takes to head the RNC.

Mike is the man he understands america like nobody else him and sarah palin will divide and conquer in 2012.

To Milhouse van Houten: Thats some seriously funny stuff LOL!

WHO CARES! Who cares what the Republicans do this is a Dem year lets focus on them! The GOP Is dead!

The problem with the Republicans is they put too much stock in someone's ability to "win an election" rather than their ability to actually do something for the COMMON GOOD! They put power over principle everytime! AM I WRONG?

Michael Steele for RNC Chairman!!!!!!

As they rearrange the deck chairs,the band continues to play"nearer
my god to thee".

Mr Ducan,
You may not want to include Georgia in any of your comments just yet. This state has many problems. The top of the list---voters.
Well I should say the right to vote.
Check the Elections board agendas in Atlanta,Ga........then you will understand. Pick a county,any county.

I think the RNC needs to stop pumping the air balloons on their body's if they think "It's clear that Republicans still know how to win elections". Oh please! Saxby Chambliss should've never went into a recount if the GOP was such a good party! Not only that, people dont want 2 vote any more! Thats why all the Repubs are getting the washed up votes! Obama already won and thats all that matters to the majority of the country!

Yes, please re-elect him, Republicans! I've been very happy with the way he's run your party.

So the GOP is using the internet trying to compete with Obama. Note to the GOP: Just because your put on Air Jordans dosent mean you can play like him.

Yeah, another maverick?

Fresh faces needed....

This guy has got to go....

"A solid foundation"? Oh, I love it. Keep building that foundation. Next time, we'll win Georgia, Montana and there will be no need for a recount in MN.

If I were him, I would not brag about running the party. Does he really think they've dealt of blow to the Dems - does he see how many seats the Dems won from the Repugnicans?

ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ

Still out of touch – in pointing out the post election results of the Georgia and Louisiana race what he fails to state is that they were republican strong holds to begin with. So they didn't really gain anything just hung onto what they already had. What he fails to realize is with this age of information sharing the lies, misrepresentation and deception the republican party has relied on for decades will no longer suffice. What he doesn't realize is that competence and skill are the new requirements for office and most Americans don't want to have a beer or coffee with their respective politicians because they want their politicians to be working so hard they don't have time for coffee or a beer to shot the breeze. He just won't get it.

LOL, is he really trying to take credit for creating a sleek website.....from this point on (everybody will be following in Obama's foot steps)...no matter how they try to deny it.

Where is Michael Steele when I need him??????

I would think the Republicans would want to keep Duncan after their resounding successes this last November.

yawn

Chip Saltsman is the best guy for the job. If not him, than Michael Steele

Republican= Whig party of the 21st century!!!

The loss in Georgia is a 'Crushing blow' to Obama??
what's the expression? Oh...LOL!!! HAHAHA

Itr is funny that, instead of trying to help us out of this mess that the country is in, the Republicans are simply trying to sabotage all progress so THEY can try and win more seats back.....this is the SAD state of politics in this country.

START WORKING TOGETHER PEOPLE.

Duncan is doing a great job. Pls keep him in the position. This will guarantee another ladslide victory for democrats in 2010.

If the Republican party wants to stay competitive in this American Democracy they need some serious retooling. Re-electing a man who ran one of the worst campaign seasons ever is not very smart of them to even consider. Think about it, the Republicans not only got blown out of the water at the highest levels, but also they have in two consecutive election cycles lost ground.

I do want a viable party in opposition to the Democrats as I do think it is healthy for a Democracy to have more than one option, but I do think that the two party system that we have right now is strangling our Democracy with "bad choice A or worse choice B."

"a crushing blow to the Barack Obama, Harry Reid, Nancy Pelosi liberal agenda."

What a jerk

From my experience, there is no such thing as a "Good Republican"

They quote scripture when convenient for their political cause. Yet ignor all the other scriptures that quote Jesus as saying that you should pay your taxes and sell your possesions to give to the poor. Love thy neighbor and all that. That "sell your possessions and give the money to the poor" is in Revelations. Look it up if you don't believe me.

Hopefully he gets kept on. What would they do without him? I know that "Real America" would just fall apart without him as the RNC leader.
But for the rest of us, the 75% of America that are "Fake America" according to FOX News, it'll be a good thing. They can continue their scare tactics and cutthroat business. The rest of us aren't listening, as proven by the recent set of elections. The "Crushing Blow" was simply conservatives running in conservative areas with no opposition. But you go ahead and open your champaigne and enjoy your "Crushing Blow" delivery and consider it a victory if you want. After all, since FOX calls you the "Real America" you must be correct in everything you say, right?
We'll just keep living in our Fake America where common sense and the laws of physics and economics actually apply.

The GOP must face that they are DOA without a VIP (very INTELLIGENT politician) as chair. Duncan doesn't quality.

The RNC party (or mess in some circles) should focus on reinventing their foundation of ideology. The once mighty GOP is facing a faux pax of sorts. The most recent setback being the landslide win by Obama and the democrats in this past election. The real 'elephant in the room' is the lack of diversity and progress in the GOP. This is a political ideology that has touted its label with mostly 35 year olds and up white males with an exceptional conservative pitch and tone. If the GOP expects any real growth in the future they will have to address why so few minorities would join their ranks. Having a vintaged dinosaur such as Mike Duncan manning the helm of their committee is not exactly a bustling attraction.

He's done such an excellent job with McCain, Palin, the joke of the convention... Yup. Keep him!

Hum....Duncan better consult Rush and Rove .... you know they are the true leaders of the Repug party. They represent the RNC at their best.... Please what ever you do leave Sarah in Alaska ..... Please.

There is a soon-to-be x-Ill. governor that would be just PERFECT for this position. As we float our scum out of the [D] party, I'm sure they will find refuge somewhere......

Please Duncan stay on, keep the GOP dead forever.

Just keep showcasing what's her name and doing what you have been doing. 'cuz your doing a "heck of a job" Mikey!

Crushing blows to the liberal agenda?? Wow, someone's been slicing from the crazy cake. Let me think - why it was only 30 some odd days ago that the country sent a resounding "GET OUT OF DODGE" message to the party of wing nuts.

Amazing that Obama is seen by democrats to be the only Chicago politician who "knows nothing about anything corrupt" and is considered to be "above the fray".

Shush, Brandon. Go finish your Fruit Loops!

georgias senator would not have needed to campaign to win, i'm afraid there is still alot of racism in this state, sad to say.

Get the neo-con leaders out of the GOP. They have ruined the Party since hijacking it and using it for their NWO agenda. Since then there is not difference between the two majors parties. That is unless you look at the "written" platforms that are never followed.

There is a common thread among most of these candidates running for the RNC chairmainship ... it's a sense of ENTITLEMENT.

This is a party that needs a new message and an new image. I was amazed to hear that the head of the Tenessee Republican Party was throwing his hat in the ring.

America, remember and always hold people accountable .... this is the guy that authorized an editted version of Mrs. Obama's "really proud" comment in an effort to paint her as unpatriotic.

In my opinion, he belongs in the same barrel as Ms. Palin and those that were yelling "kill him" or "terrorist" at those rallys.

Yes, all you neo-tards, PLEASE re-elect this looser to head the RNC.

Or, if not Duncan, how about Joe the Plumber? Afterall, Joe now dislikes McCain and thinks Palin is "absolutely the real deal", as do so many of the rightwing's disillusioned. He's also proven that he has the vacuous rightwing talking points down pat. Who else could complain that Obama's tax plan would raise his taxes,.... IF his salary were to miraculously jump by a factor of 6! In the current economy that his rightwing bretheren foisted on all of us, he should worry more that his salary will DROP by a factor of 6. LMAO!! This kind of delusional thinking is exactly what it takes to head the RNC.

When you hear fellow republicans,use the word liberal agenda, all it tells me is that the guy knows nothing and all he can do is name calling. Duncan was they guy as the head of the RNC that lost us the election. Let's face it Republican are the party of the people who are fiscally conservative and social moderate. That will win us an election. Duncan claims that we still know how to win elections, come on!!! Wining a Republican Seat, on our own republican state is expected it. The fact that we had to rescue that election on a run-off was lucky. Democrats did not show in the numbers they wanted...that is why we won, not because Duncan did anything spectacular. He is not a leader for the Republican party....we need someone that is not stuck in the past.

"the Barack Obama, Harry Reid, Nancy Pelosi liberal agenda."

How is this any different than the campaign Bush ran in 2004 – the whole "create a false sense of impending terror and then offer the GOP as the only solution" routine?

A RAT IS A RAT IS A RAT......

As a Dem, I hope Duncan wins again!
Can't wait for Jan 20th.

Youth, global technological experience and education, education and more education is the ONLY thing that will bring the republican party out of the DARK ages!!!

Mike WHO!?!?

I think that Mr. Duncan should address the President-elect using his proper title. I also find it comical that Republicans would want to continue his leadership of the party...

This has the (us vs. them) attitude written all over it.

Not so fast, Brian. We Democrats love the work he's done in recent years. I think we Dems can all agree, four more years, four more years. Joking aside, I'm surprised Boehner is still Minority Leader. He should be ousted as well. The GOP needs wholesale changes in leadership, including RNC Chair.

The only thing 'clear' is that Republicans know how to stretch the truth to suit their agendas! Both states are racist!

1. Poor turn out in Louisiana, and the relocation of thousands of citizens of NO and other areas, created a void that was filled by Rep. A win of convenience and opportunity. The accidental politician.

2. Georgia is a racist state. They, like South Carolina and other 'good old boys networks,' still refuse to move into the 21st Century.

P-E Obama, Pelosi, Harry Reid, not even Jesus can Change them!

All that good republicons should need to know is what joe the plumber thinks of this. If joe is for duncan, then they should be too. After all, he is the heart and soul of the conservative movement, an everyman crushed under the oppressive grip of the socialist nanny state. joe has shown the depth of his intellectual prowess, his "finger on the pulse" grip on the issue sof our time, his deep and abiding integrity, his honesty and moral terpitude. If joe says yes, then it is yes. If not then the gop should nominate joe. Or sarah.

Heck yeah... re-elect him. He's the best thing that's happened to the democratic party in about 12 years... lol

The GOP could bring Lincoln back from the dead and make him chairman and it still wouldn't help this pathetic, all white and elitist party.
The GOP has to severely restrict or altogether dump the "values" of the religious right and prove that they can put the interests of Main Street over Wall Street or they will be put on the trash heap of failed parties for good...

Until the republicans admit and face up to what they have done to our country they will hold no credibility. With the diasters we have facing our country they are having fund raisers to "fight the left's agenda"
regardless whether it will help in our survival.
Unless they begin putting the American people and our country first
they have no right to any power.
Yet they continue their business as usual letting their egos and beliefs outweigh honor and integrity.

The conservative values that drew me to the Republican party have been completely abandoned. I don't see anything except hypocrites, liars, and folks who stand by silently while these crooks win elections with name calling and flat out lying. And by crooks I mean, stealing our money, lying to us about what they will do in office, hiring their friends instead of people who know what they are doing, and saying they hate gays when they themselves are the pervert in the men's restroom. Except for the gay bashing they are the epitome of what I feared so long ago about Democrats. What a waste. I really feel like half these guys should be in jail for what they have done to this countries blood and treasure. I definitely don't think this clown should still have anything to do with a paycheck from the Republican party.

Signed,
disillusioned, disappointed, and disgusted... in Texas

Who gives a hoot.

Why would he even think that he deserves to be re-elected as RNC Chair? He was an abject failure!

Duncan is delusional if he thinks the two wins are "crushing blows to Obama...." if 1) Georgia's Senator was an incumbent in a Republican state and 2) Chao was running against a very corrupt person who had $90K in his fridge!!!!!!! Seriously???? Go for it Duncan, I hope you win, lol.

He can go rot in hell too for all I care...I left the GOP last year and I stand behind Obama. I'm just done with all of you at the top of the GOP machine. You ruined the party and you've got nothing left to stand on.

The RNC has so much damage control to address from its current leadership, Duncan should consider withdrawing for the good of the party.
