Palin revels in her ignorance, bristles at the slightest criticism, runs her administration like she's a Chicago ward boss, spends hundreds of thousands on wardrobes while trying her best to sell herself as a homespun yokel, and was drawing criticism from her own party in the state of Alaska. She's a very entertaining woman--I love to watch her spazz and twitch and foam at the mouth when she's subjected to the same criticism and mockery any politician goes through. My God she's wonderful entertainment. I hope she stays around forever and ever!@

Sarah Palin will be the new Republican Party Chairperson.


I'm going to cast doubt on your "source", WhatTheory. I'm pretty sure they don't know what they're talking about.

The RNC is governed by a set of rules: www.gop.com...

These rules are pretty rigidly adhered to by the party (as those of you who remember what happened when Ron Paul supporters, completely uninformed about these rules, tried to get into the RNC and other Republican conventions to vote for their candidate and were turned away by people who knew and understood the RNC rules.)

In order for Palin to take over the chairmanship, the party would have to fall apart completely between now and Thursday, moderate Republicans who strongly disagree with her would have to resign en masse from the party, a new party and new rules would have to be put in place... and then she could be anointed or appointed or voted in AND ratified.

Since the Republican National Convention is NOT currently in session, I think your source doesn't know much about politics and is suggesting a scenario that they would find delightful. In fact, I think you should be very suspicious about their claim to be a "Republican insider" since they are SO unknowledgeable about the basic rules of the party they say they belong to.

That would be absolute suicide for the republican party. Michael steele is the best hope. He is a smart, charismatic, articulate guy. Just the person they need.

This is funny.
Michael Steele and his type (ie:McCain, Colin Powell)are what ruined the Republican party. They are who we are trying to get rid of to rebuild the party as a real conservaqtive party not a conservative-lite party (think "half democrat" or democrat wannabe)

UMMM...what have you been smoking...and why aren't you sharing?

Steele is almost as pathetic as Palin...I mean it must really suck knowing that the only reason you have the job in a party that's 99% white is that you're black.

He is the ineffectual face of a totally lost party...

Palin is an incoherent voice within that party who seems to think she's something.

AND this whole thread is just the opinion of the poster since there are no links and no one is talking about it on the web.
