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.

with the usual surnames.
Will the other wing (RAT) of the National Globalist Party be imploded (as jorge/mcKein imploded the GOP wing) before or after the NAU is formally established and meshed with the EU ?
