RNC Chair to Step Down

Well technically he was co-chair. All the emails I have gotten from the RNC are from Co-Chair Mike Duncan. There was no way Sen. Martinez could do his job and serve as RNC chair at the same time. His support for the now-defunct Amnesty plan really cut him off at the knees and brought GOP fundraising to new lows. Martinez's approval ratings have plummeted in recent months. A Quinnipiac University poll released in July showed that only 38 percent of Florida voters approved of his performance as senator -- down 12 points in six months.

Names being floated for replacements are Newt Gingrich (Why ?), Michael Steele,Mitt Romney, Huckabee, and Rick Santorum. I am a big Steele fan myself.
