The Atlantic: Huck's Boy Gunning for RNC Chair

Monday, November 10, 2008 ·

The Atlantic reports Huck is trying to get his boy installed as RNC Chairman for a possible Huck presidential run:
"Yes, that IS ex-Gov. Mike Huckabee making telephone calls to Republicans on behalf of his former campaign manager, Chip Saltsman, as Saltsman prepares to run for chairman of the Republican National Committee. Sarah Huckabee, Huckabee's chief spokesperson and his daughter, e-mails: "My dad is definitely supporting Chip for RNC chairman. My dad has had the privilege of working with Chip and knows what he is capable of and shares his vision on how to move the party forward and will be working hard to help him get elected." She says her father hasn't started making calls, yet.
As RNC chair, Saltsman could do quite a bit to further Huckabee's national ambitions even in the pose of a neutral arbiter between candidates.
Speaking of the RNC race, a Republican with ties to many members of the national committee e-mails in regards to my contention that Newt Gingrich, should he decide to run, would be the odds-on favorite for the position: "he doesn't the job unless he has carte blanche to do what we wants. And we are never gong to get a committee that does that."

Newt Quote of the Day

"I think one of the great problems we have in the Republican Party is that we don't encourage you to be nasty. We encourage you to be neat, obedient, loyal and faithful and all those Boy Scout words, which would be great around a campfire but are lousy in politics. "

Make your support for Newt known!

This website is a humble attempt by a conservative to build support for Newt Gingrich becoming RNC Chairman. The idea for the site was conceived while drinking Milagro Silver Tequila during Obama's victory speech on election night. Crassus bought the domain name at 1:00 AM. Many conservatives are frustrated over the direction and leadership of the Republican Party while the core values of America are under attack from the left. This website is not affiliated with any Republican organizations. I am no one special, just a regular guy working 8-5 every day who is conservative and mad as hell over the way things are going right now in American and the Republican Party as it continues to forget the legacy of Reagan and ignore conservatisms.
