Thread: Republicans Pick First Black Chairman

Republicans elect Steele first black chairman



WASHINGTON (Reuters) – The Republican Party picked its first black chairman on Friday as it elected former Maryland Lieutenant Governor Michael Steele to rebuild the party after a string of devastating defeats.

Steele, 50, is regarded within the party as a skilled speaker who can help bring the Republican message to black Americans, Hispanics, suburbanites and other fast-growing groups that have shunned the party in recent years.

That's so cynical. And as Peggy Noonan would say..."gimmicky". Everyone who's not a wealthy white male will flock to the party of wealthy white males because they put this guy at the helm. Right.

They are losing elections because they do shit like this.

Exactly. The Republi-Cons are totally bankrupt, they're runnin' around like chickens without heads. They're leaderless, in confusion, about to lose a super-majority to the opposition.....

I think they're dead. I really do. I think they're gonna go the way of the Whigs.

Or, if they somehow manage to magically re-invent themselves, like Madonna or somethin', it's gonna be a LONG time before they do another tour.

Have you seen Madonna's arms lately, by the way? Eeee-yeewwwww!!!

Playing the race card worked for the Democrats, why shouldn't the Republicans give it a shot ?

This will definately work only if the Republicans change their positions on a few issues subtlely.
