THIS IS WHAT HAPPENS WHEN PEOPLE THINK THEIR MONEY IS WASTED: Fundraising worries dominate the race for chairman of the RNC. Since Ed Morrissey started the “not one dime” campaign back in 2005, there have been a lot of angry Republicans who won’t donate to the RNC. Michael Steele only exacerbated this problem. Will they find someone else who can reverse the trend? I don’t know.

I got a call from an RNC candidate last week, but after explaining that I don’t do endorsements I noted that personally I’m more interested in what’s going on in the various Tea Party groups than what’s happening at the RNC, which I regard as mostly irrelevant. The Tea Party movement, after all, has a track record of success . . . .
