WASHINGTON - The debate Monday between candidates for the post of Republican National Committee chairman was like a cream egg - the literal meaning does not match its content. With one exception, the current RNC, Michael Steele and his rivals - former president of the Michigan Republican Party, Saul Anuzis, former Bush administration official Maria Cino, Wisconsin Republican Party chairman Priebus relapses, Missouri, and former president of Ann Wagner Republican Party - to avoid talking about the other. "I do not run against anybody," Priebus said at the opening of his closing speech, which was in favor of steel in 2009, before announcing his candidacy in early December.
Instead of discussing the placement of Tucker Carlson and Grover Norquist at the National Press Club in Washington, was like an interview. The candidates listed what "skills" they have for the position, as his experience will help lead the NRC and how they will do the job (all interspersed with a few clumsy joke.) Their faces repeatedly asked to answer questions "specifically," that usually did not.
While Norquist said that "there is a job description," is not a party chair is really one thing - to raise money. All candidates said they could raise money to defeat Obama in 2012. Priebus said he would seek a "five or six" hours on the phone every day with top donors, saying the Republican National Convention should be increased $ 400,000,000 president's failure. "It's all about fundraising," Anuzis said in his opening.
"We are not involved in politics, we do politics," said the president of Steele. "You can not dictate the terms of the policy (House) Speaker or minority leader. If you make a mistake, he recalled that" no politics ", he concluded, drawing applause from the crowd by the President
Steele, in the center of the debate, who knows what he says. Shortly after, he was elected chairman of the NRC, said - in comments that were anathema to most Republicans - that abortion is "personal choice" to be determined by the States May 2009 interview with GQ. During the debate, Steele - who are often encouraged to cable news show - appeared dim. According to a report this morning, political, Steele does not have the votes of 168 members of the NBC to stay for a second term.
In an exception to the lack of discussion in the debate, Steele defended his record as chairman of the Republican National Convention, when Wagner was attacked for its lack of funding GOTV along the note, the former assistant style - and a former candidate to the Republican National Convention itself, before leaving - Gentry Collins. "They have a program of 72 hours -. We had a 12 months we have won 64 seats in the home, 21 state legislatures around." Said the program was done differently. "We won in all fifty states this year. It is a goal, winning. Find me a state that has not won the election."
Despite the success of Republicans in the midterm elections, RNC $ 15,000,000 of debt, reports indicated that he had already spent heavily to the Tampa Convention 2012, and was forced to delay payments to suppliers of the Convention. Steele humbly suggested first that the debt can be "refinanced" and group "drop, get the money immediately, getting the right dollars."
The race for RNC chair, of course, open elections - 168 members, elect the chairman of the race, which often takes several votes - but Priebus seems the favorite, according to the count. Also acted as he did. He has repeatedly spoken of the need to work with the conservative movement and tea. He also spoke of how tea partier, sounding the alarm about America's decline. "We're going to drop the financial precipice," he said in his opening speech. "We must save our country, and in turn to save our party, and return to the White House," he said, often repeating the need to "save our country" more than any other candidate.
Priebus also had great success in the normally blue Wisconsin in 2010. Plastics magnate Ron Johnson won his first election, defeating Democratic Senator Russ Feingold, depicting him as a Washington insider. House Appropriations long President David Obi (D-Wisc.) resigned and was replaced by Republican Sean Duffy, who was previously a cast member of "Real World" on MTV. The Republicans took the Governor of Wisconsin, the legislature and took an additional security camera.
Ultimately, the RNC presidential race develops much to the Republican narrative about the 2010 elections - Priebus, language area, seems on the verge of defeating and irresponsible financial actions of Michael Steele, on 14 January.
