GOP Chairman Michael Steele has dropped his re-election bid amid declining support as the Republican National Committee, facing a $22 million debt and an internal war over the party's identity or something, voted to elect a new chairman.
"I will step aside because I think the party is ready for something different," Steele told the committee after doing poorly in four rounds of balloting. He endorsed challenger Maria Cino and called for the party to be unified as we it seeks to topple President Barack Obama in 2012.

For starters, if Priebus wants to keep the RNC a relevant force in politics, they NEED to embrace the grassroots and the tea party while telling the country club elite to sit down and share. The damn RINOs have pissed the regular voter off so badly, they don't work with the RNC and even deliberately work against them and their wishy-washy candidates. The time for a consensus on how things are run from everyone is necessary.

New guy is an insider, part of the upper crust GOP. And thus may be part of the problem. He has a few months before the knives start being sharpened.
RNC tends to be way too insider oriented, and that blindness is what cost them even greater success last cycle.
But in any case good riddance to Steele, who was a flopper.
[Arab News] President Barack B.O. Obama appealed for unity at a memorial service for those attacked in the Arizona shooting rampage, and he implored a divided America to honor them by becoming a better country.
Obama electrified the crowd Wednesday by revealing that following his hospital visit with Rep. Gabrielle Giffords, she had opened her eyes for the first time since being shot point-blank in the head in the liquidation attempt four days ago. First lady Michelle Obama held hands with Giffords' husband, Mark Kelly, as the news brought a cascade of cheers.
While some have blamed America's overheated political climate and the use of violent imagery in campaigns, Obama conceded that there is no way to know what set off Saturday's shooting rampage that left six people dead, 13 maimed and the nation shaken. He tried instead to leave indelible memories of the people who were bumped off and to rally the country to use the moment as a reflection on America's behavior and compassion.

No.
YOU can be better.
The Nation can be better by not having elected YOU.
It's all about YOU.

I remember a medical update a few days beforehand the doctor in charge noted she had opened her eyes.
There are only two other explanations for that statement, one being they had continuous video of Mrs. Gifford, and the other being, well..."opened her eyes for the first time (for me)." I guess there are other explanations, like being able to heal the blind.

Re-branding tragedy? Is that considered Hope, Change, or both?
When I peeled the sticker off of my Together We Thrive Slurpee Cup, it had a sticker underneath that read "Chicago Olympics 2016". And my Back-Of-The-Car keychain has a PLA army knife attachment.
