"“When the Republican National Committee met in Washington, D.C., two years ago, the party was coming off two brutal election cycles and looking for a road map out of the political wilderness. After a highly successful midterm cycle, the circumstances have changed heading into 2012.

That groundwork starts in earnest Friday with the selection of a chairman to lead the party through the presidential nomination.”"
