I was under the impression that Rush Limbaugh already ran the GOP so, this is a no brainer.
 
You mean understanding your enemy?? Oh I understand Liberals quite well. That is why I have such disdain towards any and all leftist communism here in the US.

on edit: nevermind. I didn't see Redress's post.

Perhaps, but putting Newt in charge would be giving the finger to social cons. Newt has so much social baggage it's ridiculous. Going from a "pro-Choice" leader to a "left my cancer stricken wife after surgery and cheated on my second wife while I went after Clinton" isn't necessarily the best action if you wish to keep a vital part of your party happy.

Most of the social conservatives I know don't have a problem with Newt, despite his past indiscretions. Hypocritical? Yeah, but hey, its not my problem. I think Newt could really excel in this role.
 
IMHO, it should be Gingrich. He has too much baggage to get elected to public office now, but he is still a political genius. Working behind the scenes, he could do wonders to get the Republican Party moving in the right direction once more. Look what he did with the Contract with America, which led to the Republican takeover of Congress in 1994..

Think Newt has aspirations beyond the role of "party chairman". The position would be somewhat of a back step for him.

Fred Thompson wouldn't be a bad choice. Has a re-assuring confidence/quality about him that would be a good fit. JC Watts another reasonable candidate...although would suspect there to be predictable accusations from the left of "pandering to blacks" with Watts following Steele.

Also always been a fan of Huckaby....

Really though who are we kidding? Any white man on this list is already disqualified. The GOP will go with a hispanic, middle eastern, or woman to show that they have "variety" amongst their ranks. Remember people with the GOP nowadays, it's all about perception and not conception.
