RNC's Priebus leaning toward 2nd run

Republican National Committee Chairman Reince Priebus will make an announcement next week about whether he’ll seek another term, but he’s leaning toward launching a second campaign at the helm, sources told POLITICO.

Questions about Priebus’s intentions come as the party starts to look inward after a shellacking at the ballot box in the presidential race, and in a wide swath of Senate contests last Tuesday.

Priebus is weighing his options and his preferences, and will make his desires known at some point next week, ahead of the Thanksgiving holidays. But he’s leaning toward running again for a seat he wrested from onetime ally Michael Steele back in January 2011, a senior Republican official said.

Despite the GOP’s deep losses on Tuesday, and off-the-record grumbling about Priebus and the future direction of the party from some Republicans, there is no apparent challenger in sight, according to multiple party sources.

...it's clear that Reince Priebus never ran an organized political party. He's just a limp appendage to a sweaty, dirty mess.

If republicans had listened to Steele more, they would have beaten democrats with even a wider margin. Sorry, but you should research these types of things.
