The Democrats in contol: Who will the GOP turn to for the future for Leadership?


The Wednesday, November 19, 2008 edition of The Washington Times. The Times features an article titled Steele chastises 'country club' GOP. Republican National Committee Chairman candidate Michael S. Steele is former Lt. Governor for the State of Maryland. For more on political philosophy read Facts & Opinions: Remembering that we are a constitutional people. (pp 1-2 and 8).

“I think Michael Steele is a great, great talent. He certainly would offer the
kind of vivid, strong voice that we could use, and I think that the party would
do very well if he ends up being chairman.” - Newt Gingrich

“Steele is one of several people who are running of whom Newt is supportive,” Gingrich spokesman Joe DeSantis told Politico, adding that Gingrich had also said “good, positive things” about two of Steele’s rivals, South Carolina Republican Party Chair Katon Dawson and Michigan Republican Party Chair Saul Anuzis.

The Republican Party has a lot of work ahead. New leadership is the next step for the political party that is losing the White House, after losing Congress two years ago. Leading the Democratic Party is former Vermont Governor and early front runner in the 2004 Democrat Presidential nomination.
