CNN: Priebus To Seek Re-Election As RNC Chairman

Reince Priebus will run for re-election as chairman of the Republican National Committee, CNN reports.

According to CNN, Priebus on Friday sought support from top GOP officials throughout the country. Early indications are that he is a favorite to continue as chairman.

From CNN:

Several officials familiar with the process said they think as of now Priebus has enough support to win.

"He is reaching out to members about his plans to run for re-election. He enjoys deep support on the committee, and I expect him to be re-elected with overwhelming support support (sic). At this point, no one else is making any efforts to contact RNC members about challenging Priebus," one RNC member told CNN, on the condition of anonymity.

16. Steele was pretty effective and is not as nuts as Priebus. I prefer Priebus for my own partisan

reasons, Priebus will lead the party deeper into the dark, dangerous swamp that it has walked into. Steele would try to turn the republican party around and bring it out to safety.

As far as I can tell, he was kicked out because he is black and reached out to the "wrong people".

They lost the White House.

They got farther from the majority in the Senate.

They lost ground in the House.

And they lost all the states the top of their ticket was from.

If they have decided to go for permanent minority status, this is the guy for them.
