Friday At The GOP

Today is a big day for the Republican Party. Today, they will decide on whether or not Michael Steele should keep his job as the head of the Republican National Committee. Before he was elected head of the RNC, he was Lt. Gov. of the state of Maryland. He became the head of the RNC in 2009, and preceded to commit major gaffes, such as certain members ending up in a bondage themed strip club, or 20 million dollars worth of debt. Today's vote will be done by secret ballot, no one knowing who voted how. in order to win the seat, a candidate will need to earn 85 votes. There are currently no predictions on who will win, as there are expected to be several rounds worth of voting. Other concerns to the winner will include what may be the start of a Republican Civil War, where conservatives and tea party members are nominating ever increasing right-wingers. Which means the destruction of moderates and establishment people, such as Mike Castle or Bob Bennett, as well as re-attracting the donors who left Mr. Steele. and while things could change, the current favorite appears to be Republican Party Chairman for Wisconson, as well as former Steele booster, Reince Priebus.
