So Reince Priebus, the Wisconsin GOP bureaucrat who orchestrated [1]the gerrymandered process [2]which brought the Republicans theludicrous [3] Michael Steele fiasco [4] has stabbed his protégé in the back and is to become the next Chairman of the Republican National Committee.
Reince Priebus wins RNC Chairmanship [5]By Chris Cillizza The Washington Post Posted at 5:18 PM ET, 01/14/2011
At least this nominally breaks the curious preference [6]the RNC had developed for not choosing from their key constituency [7]for this high profile position – the last three elected Chairmen have been Black,Hispanic [8] and Jewish [9]. And the Neocon intrigue to make it four with Norm Coleman [10]failed.
But since Priebus was up to his neck in the Steele Chairmanship [11], probably the widely suspected financial oddities [12]will be covered up. And the RNC tradition of racial pandering [13]/supporter betrayal [14]will still be there, if latently.
