Wisconsin boy making it big?

Reince Priebus, Chairman of the Wisconsin Republican Party, is running for RNC Chairman. Given the success he had it makes sense. One wonders if the national party had taken his approach of embracing the Tea Party instead of running against them (I'm talking to you Delaware and Nevada) if the "wave" could have been bigger. Perhaps we will find out.

Maybe the wave could have been bigger or maybe it could have been a lot smaller, it is always hard for a party to support another group especially when they are seen by many voters as radicals

I heard about this on WPR. Reince and the Republican Party were likely more successful in Wisconsin than in any other state, considering the governor's seat, a U.S. Senate seat, and two U.S. Representative seats flipped, as well as the state senate and assembly. He may have a good shot at the RNC position.

The beginning was very heart felt, but when Reince was talking I couldn't stop laughing at how scribed it felt. But It would be interesting to see how this would all play out if he gets the position.
