For those that would like to see a resurgent Republican Party that harkens back to its small government ideals, don’t hold your breath. Mike Duncan, the current RNC chair, is among the six candidates for the seat. He’s still showing a large level of incompetence:

But Duncan has been emboldened by post-Election Day victories in congressional runoffs in Georgia and Louisiana, giving him a clear message: The party was defeated by an unusually strong Obama organization and appeal that cannot be replicated.

“Obama was a phenomenon,” Duncan said in an interview. “We know how to win elections.”

It’s true that Obama was a phenomenon, but Duncan’s assertion that the 2008 elections were a once in a blue moon event for the GOP is just bizarre. The Democrats won back Congress in 2006, for goodness sake! If the GOP keeps Duncan, all their talk of running government like a business will be evidently garbage. If he ran a business the way he’s run the GOP, Congress would be bailing it out.
