HOTAIR.COM: Text Steele for GOP Change



The RNC needs major infrastructural change to catch up to the Democrats, and this is exactly the kind of engagement that change should bring. Howard Dean and Barack Obama turned text messaging into a GOTV powerhouse in the final days of the election. Steele seems to have recognized the gap and is giving a demonstration of his intent if given the chance to lead the GOP for the next four years.


That’s impressive, especially given the short time frame in which Steele has worked to produce this. Check out the entire site, and text your ideas to Steele, too. The next RNC chair has to start thinking out of the box, and Steele looks like he’s ready to perform.
