Steele Asks RNC Staff to Resign
Fox News is reporting that Michael Steele has requested the resignations of the ENTIRE RNC STAFF (about 100 people). He wants to rebuild from scratch.
The story was based on a blog post written last night by Politico's Ben Smith.
It is still unclear whether or not staffers will be allowed to re-interview for their positions (my guess) -- or if this is, indeed, a real purge.
If there was ever a doubt his election represented a revolutionary shift in direction, this move would certainly put an end to that debate.
The reformers won, and -- unlike Obama who seems to have used "change" as merely an slogan -- Steele (so far) appears to be "governing" (inasmuch as an RNC chairman can "govern") -- as a true change-agent.
By the same token, one hopes Steele will not throw the baby out with the bath water. Clearly there are some good people working at the RNC -- and losing institutional knowledge is painful. My guess is some staffers may retain their positions.
Of particular interest to bloggers will be the fate of the RNC's tech-guru Cyrus Krohn. Several conservative blogs, including RedState, have urged Steele to retain him.
Update: The Hill has more.

He's going to hire illegal mexicons to run the office.
and probably use federal stimulas bill money to do it Senate Stimulus Bill Would Provide 300,000 Jobs for Illegal Immigrants
No no no... this Steele guy should keep exactly the same people and keep doing exactly the same things, keep all the neocons and keep all the Bush buttlickers and every single member of their current "brain- trust". Seriously. Think of it as the political equivalent of a "Brompton's cocktail". Something to give a terminal cancer patient a long overdue recipe for a peaceful and merciful death. Because that's what the GOP needs to do at this point. Die. Quickly. Before they can do any more horrifying damage to the rest of us in their miserable and wretched death throes. Just die already. Die, die, die!

But he is one of THEM! You can not put a RINO into a leadership position and hope they will swing it back conservative.
