** The committee raised $83M over the year, making it the most successful of the three RNC committees.
** Liz Mair is the RNC's new online communications director.
** And Alex Conant, a veteran of the Bush White House, will be the new press secretary.

No way in hell will the RNC get money from my family with imbeciles like Mair in their midsts.
Liz Mair has the emotional intelligence of my 3 year old. No wonder she couldn't get a real job.
One of the problems with the Republican party are this low level activists like Mair. Some of them spent the whole year attacking Romney--a person with an exceptional background and exceptional record and a person that has made a significant contribution to the image of the Republican party.
Another one of these jerk, third tier lawyers, is Jennifer Rubin. She went after Mitt as soon as he launched his campaign at the Ford Museum. Rubin wants to tag Romney with anti-semitism.

In the post below Mair compares Romney to President Mugabe of Zimbabwe. This group punditary for Giulliani and McCain are absolute junk. They truly made a negative contribution to the Republican image this year. It was like a pundit price war.
Then she goes after a blogger supporting Romney. This was as a whole some low brow junk to stifle honest people supporting Republicans.

Did anyone else hear about the slamming that your colleague Justin Hart from My Man Mitt got from virtually every other blogger at CPAC (most of whom attended the bloggers' reception thingy), for being a mindless troll and groupie shill?
Note: I wasn't at the bloggers' reception thing to give him my two cents, but I heard he got blasted pretty hard by everyone from Phil Klein at the American Spectator to the RedState guys because he wouldn't acknowledge that there was even one single thing that might be imperfect about Mitt, his record, or any of his espoused views. The Romney supporters at this site lend more credibility to their support of Mitt because they do acknowledge that he isn't some kind of political deity, perfect in every way, even if he remains their first choice.
Personally, I consider it a monument to my credibility, my importance and my intelligence that My Man Mitt feels the need to attack me personally and impugn my motives for blogging about this subject. To paraphrase the great Margaret Thatcher, it's hard to feel anything short of pleased with this kind of personal attack, since if My Man Mitt has to attack me personally, it means the site's editors have not a single political argument left.
Of course, to come back to you specifically, Jason, 4 points is not a "bulldozing," especially when at least half the votes for Romney were paid for. To say that Romney "bulldozed" the competition approvingly is kind of like saying with great admiration that President Mugabe of Zimbabwe, who also pays people to vote for him, is a truly popular and democratically-elected leader.
