A Woman's Place Is in Charge of the GOP

I like Michael Steele but his management of the party has been disappointing at times. A strong women who is savvy about politics and running a large organization (like herding cats) would be a good choice. Sarah Palin, while an excellent speaker, does not have the experience or depth for that position.
If we are looking for women, how about Sue Kelly from NY (fomer Congresswoman) or Christie Todd Whitman (former New Jersey Governor). There are lots of good women with talent who should at least be asked. Obviously, the best person should be selected, but it needs to be someone who will BUILD the PARTY, not just have us talk among ourselves.
Actually, I think someone like Tom Campbell from California (former Congressman and voted one of the most fiscally conservative members when he served) would also be an excellent choice. He is the smartest man I know, a true fiscal conservative and his integreity is above reproach.

Republicans have a amazing group of diverse upcoming leaders. Of different races and sex. Michael can be credited for some of that.
I like Michael but believe in competition. Let the best person win. Be it a woman or not. Not by quota.
I personally would vote for Sarah Palin. She embodies our future as one example. There are many others too...

I thought the GOP should have nominated a women for President a long time ago. I never quite understood why Jeane Kirkpatrick never made a run; except that she was probably uneasy with the social conservatism of the religious wing.
