[Swiftwater Gazette] RNC Chairman

[Bill Effros]

either or
neither nor

Obama is President because of his skin color.  I think it was smart for 
Republicans to select an RNC Chairman based on skin color to show they 
get it, and neutralize this issue.

Putting ideology aside, it is important for Republicans to establish 
themselves as a counter-force to Democrats.

Democrats were supported by a wide range of ideologies that can't hold 
together.

Things will go from bad to worse, and Republicans must be able to show 
they strongly opposed some of the worst ideas.  There will be plenty to 
pick from.

Republicans, also, are supported by a wide range of ideologies, and they 
will do better if they understand this, instead of fighting ideological 
battles with themselves.
