Let's be honest,here. We all knew he was given that position so the RNC could kiss black ass in the hope of getting a few black racist votes.
@sneakypete I was working for the Texas Republican Party during the time he was the national RNC Chairman, 2009-2011. He was not reelected as chairman due to the fact he almost bankrupted the national party.
The truth of the matter, is, a national chairman is elected to mainly do one thing: bring in money. He spent money but did not bring in much money; that is why he served only one term as chairman. It may have been his skin color that got him elected, but it was not his skin color that took him out - it was the money.
This is probably more than you want to know:
The RNC is make up of these people:
One woman and one man from each state, plus the chairman of each state. These people are elected at the state convention of each state. When you go as a delegate to your state convention, fliers will be given to you by the people who want to be your state members (one woman/one man) at the RNC. An election is held there to fill these two positions on the RNC Committee.
