GOP News
Via Breitbart:
Two days after losing a bid for a second term, Sen. Lincoln Chafee said he was unsure whether he would remain a Republican.
...
"I haven't made any decisions. I just haven't even thought about where my place is," Chafee said at a news conference. When pressed on whether his comments indicated he might leave the GOP, he replied: "That's fair."
This is good news for the Republican party, especially as the article goes on to say that Chafee stayed with the party mainly because it helped bring federal dollars to his home state of Rhode Island.
In other news, RNC chairman Ken Mehlman is planning on stepping down at the end of the year, and rumors are flying that Michael Steele may be asked to take the position. Steele, as you know, ran a great but ultimately unsuccessful campaign for senate in Maryland, and his post as lieutenant governor there will end in January.
A bunch of my blogging buddies (Kitty, Aaron, Gayle and others) were discussing this possibility via e-mail just yesterday. What a great opportunity for this fine man to get more national experience and exposure...who knows? 2008 isn't far away, and we need all the good candidates we can get.
Goodbye Lincoln Chafee, hello Michael Steele!
